For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Eric S. Williams. I am a graduate student in the Masters of Accountancy (MAcc) program at the University of Arkansas. During my time at the U of A, I have had the privilege of studying abroad three times. I went to Vietnam for the January Intersession 2017 and Ireland Summer 2017, both with the Walton College. Now, I am attending National Model United Nations (NMUN) 2018 Conference from Sunday, November 18 to Friday, November 23, 2018. Twenty students will be traveling to Xian, China led by Dr. Robert Stapp to represent the U of A and discuss issues across various committees. The conference will take place at the Westin Xian Hotel throughout various ballrooms. Our journey will also include cultural excursions to the Muslim Quarter, Xian City Wall, and other cultural sites.
The students representing each committee are:
Japan ECOSOC -- Paul Newman & Kate Hedgecock
Japan UNIDO -- Kali Fleming & Eric S. Williams (me)
Japan GA -- Tenley Getschman & Victoria Lawson
China ECOSOC -- Kait Turner & Odessa Elie
China UNIDO -- Christine Carroll & Amanda Funderburg
China GA -- Ethan Edwards & Katrina Erickson
China SC -- Indy Hudec & Dalton Jones
Republic of Korea ECOSOC -- Sadie Bryant & Arianna Kiaei
Republic of Korea UNIDO -- Jared Pinkerton & Marco Gargano
Republic of Korea GA -- Gunner Gilbert & Hailee Hampton
Note: Japan and Republic of Korea (South Korea) are not members of the Security Council.
This is an excellent opportunity for twenty students to enhance their research and public speaking skills. Hopefully, we all do well and come away with many awards. I hope we all display passion and knowledge about important international issues. I hope to network with other students who see merit in our proposals. Most importantly, I hope we all come back with an unforgettable experience. Please follow my blog and join me on my extraordinary journey to China.
