History of Our Club: Spring 2005
This Chapter of The M.U.N. started Spring 2005 and was organized by Jordan Van Dyne. Once a consistent group was formed
we tackled the constitution, reforming it until it was satisfactory to the whole group. Then we elected officers based on
their leadership qualities and willingness to be dedicated to the organization, some members had already put in extensive
time towards the development of the Club.
Throughout the year several members put time and effort into making our fundraisers happen, and keeping the group focused
and organized. We then as a group voted and choose a conference, which was the Model United Arab League conference. Ten of
our members along side our faculty advisor Mr. Coulter left the campus of CPCC for our first conference. This conference was
attended by (country-College):
Bahrain - University of Alabama-Birmingham
Comoros - Greenville Technical College
Djibouti - Abbeville High School
Jacksonville State University
Iraq - Mercer University
Kuwait - Berry College
Lebanon - Converse College
Mauritania - Old Dominion University
Morocco - Columbus State University
Oman - Franklin and Marshall College
Palestine - University of South Carolina - Upstate
Qatar - St. Augusta University
Saudi Arabia - Kennesaw State University
Sudan - Penn State Wilkes - Barre
Tunisia - Converse College
UAE - Jacksonville state University
Yemen - Northeastern University
Syria - Central Piedmont Community College
Libya - Central Piedmont Community College
Our Group was composed of these members:
Neil - Arab Heads of State - Syria
Jordan - Joint Defense Council - Syria
Will - Palestinian Affairs - Syria
Muhammad - Social Affairs Council - Syria
Alissa - Ministers of the Interior - Syria
Karina - Arab Economic Unity - Libya
Nadisha - Arab Economic Unity - Libya
Virgilio -Social Affairs Council - Libya
Donivan - Arab Heads of State - Libya
Leeda - Palestinian Affairs - Libya
We arrived and achieved more than we hoped. This being our first conference, it would be fair to say we were a bit nervous
those feelings of anxiety left as the sessions began, and confidence was gained. On the behalf of our CPCC MUN Club and announce
the following outcome of the conference in order of awards received.
William Babb - Outstanding Delegation in the Council of Palestinian Affairs
Muhammed Blanchett - Outstanding Delegation in Arab Social Affairs Ministers
Karina Starks - Honorable Mention in the Council of Economic Ministers
Nadisha Vang - Honorable Mention in the Council of Economic Ministers
And Most Importantly
CPCC MUN - Honorable Mention in Delegation of the Peoples Republic of Syria
We would like to state that this could not have been possible without the following support:
Dr. Petts and Mr. Coulter our Faculty Advisors
The SGA for support in all our endeavors, especially Amanda Capobianchi!
The support from all members of the CPCC MUN from beginning to end!
Fall 2005
In the fall of 2005 CPCC MUN attended the 16th Annual Carolinas Conference on November 3-4 2005. This was a first conference
for six of the eight members attending, so there was some anticipation on the outcome of the event.
We represented five countries in three committees: The Security Council, General Assembly and The League of Arab States.
In the first two committees we represented two countries Russia and the United Kingdom and Somalia, Yemen, and Syria in the
League of Arab States. In these committees we were up against UNC Chapel Hill, East Carolina University, Queen's University,
and UNC W, who are highly accredited schools to say the least. Yet in two days we were able to apply all the things we had
learned in our research and meetings with a successful outcome. We were able to take home to CPCC three of the six awards
we were eligible for.
The winners of the Awards and participants were as follows:
Jordan Van Dyne - Outstanding delegate of Russia in the Security Council
Walter Lake - Distinguished delegate of the United Kingdom in the Security Council
Muhammed Blanchett - Distinguished delegate of Syria in the League of Arab States
Meaghan Major - Delegate of Yemen in the League of Arab States
Lindsey Carter - Delegate of Somalia in the League of Arab States
Brenda Munoz - Delegate of United Kingdom in General Assembly
Johanna Chiriboga - Delegate of United Kingdom in the General Assembly
Taylor Sichting - Delegate of Russia in the General Assembly
