Past Glories, Global Affairs Historical Society, Model U.N. Open New Horizons for Students The Social Studies Department unveiled two new clubs this year, the Historical Society and Model United Nations. Both clubs enabled students to learn about subjects in more detail and complexity than could be taught in the classroom. The Historical Society provided students with the opportunity to delve deeper into the cause and effect of topics ranging from presidential assassination to hu- mor in America. Members heard presentations by professors, fac- ulty, students, survivors of the Ho- locaust, and an ex-POW during the Vietnam War. The Model U.N. gave students the chance to learn more about current events and world affairs. Members practiced parliamentary procedure, debate techniques, and the art of diplomacy. A pseu- do-U.N. session was held at the U of A for Model U.N. organizations. Our chapter represented dele- gates from the countries of El Sal- vador and Ruwanda. All in all. both clubs added new perspectives to the learning of the social sciences. Design by Craig Johnson. Photos by Karen Herba ugh.
