MEET THE 2019-2020 EXECUTIVE BOARD🇺🇳: Next up we have our President Zoë Dahse! Zoë is a senior pursuing a double major in UWO Political Science and International Studies through the UW Oshkosh International Studies Program!

Going into her fourth year on the team, this will be Zoë's third year on the team's executive board. Previously, she held the positions of Oshkosh Student Association Representative, as well as Vice President. Zoë stated, "Going into my fourth year, I am honored to serve as President for the 36th year of the tradition of excellence. My past leadership experiences on the team have guided me and prepared me on this path to Presidency, and I cannot thank Dr. Kenneth J. Grieb, and all of the team members before my time for building a program as prestigious and giving as UWO Model UN". 🌍

Sitting on the executive board during Dr. Grieb's last year, and working closely with year 35 President Matt Clowney to shape the team into a new era of Model UN, has allowed Zoë to draw on past experiences from the team that we all know and love, and help guide her in working with both Advisors, Dr. Tracy Hoffmann Slagter and Dr. Ang Gray Subulwa in transforming our resilient team in continuing our tradition.

Through her time in Model UN, she has spent most of her time researching political and environmental topics. Zoe stated, "At first, I was honestly not that excited to make the transition from talking about weapons of mass destruction, to plastic in the ocean. However, through this research, there are a lot of direct links that intertwine political and environmental issues. The best thing about Model UN is that there is ALWAYS something new to learn, or expand on. In my fourth year, I am eager to make more connections, and help others get the same transformational knowledge that I have gotten out of Model UN so far". If you want to chat with Zoë, stop by her office in Sage Hall 4444!

PLEASE come to the Informational Meeting tonight in Sage 3232! There will be free pizza🍕🍕🍕!

MEET THE 2019-2020 EXECUTIVE BOARD🇺🇳: Next up we have our Vice President Josey Strand! Josey is pursuing three majors in Spanish, Anthropology, and International Studies through the UW Oshkosh International Studies Program.

Reflecting on her past three years of Model UN, Josey's favorite country to represent was Gabon🇬🇦, and her favorite topic to research was human trafficking. Going into her fourth year, Josey is looking forward to making new friends and passing down knowledge to new members to continue the tradition of excellence. Through her Model UN experiences, Josey has seen a huge confidence boost from her first year to now. She attributes Model UN to helping her immensely in her personal and professional lives! Josey's spark to learn about the world around her led her to study abroad in Argentina this summer! She looks forward to sharing her experiences and knowledge from Argentina 🇦🇷with the team.

Josey encourages all new students to join the team because not only does it help you with research, writing✏️, and public speaking, but it gives you the BEST friends you could ever ask for! If you want to chat with Josey come to her office in Sage 4444! 🌍🤩⭐️

Don't forget our Informational Meeting is tomorrow night, Thursday 9/12 at 6:30PM in Sage 3232! If you have any questions email [email protected]!

MEET THE 2019-2020 EXECUTIVE BOARD🇺🇳: Next up we have our Second Vice President Peter Herrmann! Peter is pursuing a major in UWO Political Science with minors in Law and Policy, Civic Engagement, and Public Administration.

With a year of experience on the team under his belt, Peter, a fourth year college student, believes his past experiences can help him provide a unique perspective to the decision making processes of the team, especially regarding fundraising💸! As a teammate, Peter has enjoyed learning about United Nations Peacekeeping the most. Peter stated, "UN Peacekeeping performs a very admirable job, yet has flaws that warrant plans and discussions on how to resolve them, such as the empowerment of local women and women Peacekeepers. As conflicts continue to arise globally, it is important that people are familiar with the role UN Peacekeeping has to play in resolving them". During Peter's first year of competitions, he stated, "My favorite part of competing is making a working group of not only countries from all over the globe, but meeting students from all over the globe and working towards comprehensive solutions on international issues🌍". Moving into this year, he is looking forward to learning more, growing as a delegate, and helping others grow too!

When we asked Peter why new students should join Model UN, he responded with, "Joining Model UN was the best decision I made during my first year at UW Oshkosh. I gained a family and network of people here in Oshkosh, learned so many new things, and made huge strides in my classwork through study and preparation skills. I would recommend joining it to anyone looking to meet people, learn more, and improve their classwork🍎📓✏️". If you want to chat with Peter, visit him in his office in Sage 4449!

Don't forget our Informational Meeting is this week Thursday at 630PM in Sage Hall 3232! If you have further questions email [email protected]!🤩
