AAU delegates show firm resolution at Harvard Model UN

“We did quite well,” says Sandilya. “I wouldn’t say we were super successful but we did quite well.”

Anglo-American University was the only Czech University to send a delegation to the 57th Harvard Model United Nations Conference in Boston in February.

The group was larger and more successful than the one last year, with AAU students spending two weeks in the United States. Model UN conference aside, four of them met the Andorran ambassador at the United Nations headquarters in New York City.
