CSUSB Model UN program ultimate goal to develop hopeful, vocal scholars
Redlands-Loma Linda Patch
April 26, 2023
While his job as director of the Model United Nations program at Cal State San Bernardino is to prepare the student delegates to take on the role of diplomats at National Model United Nations, conferences, Sina Bastami (geography and environmental studies) says it goes a little further than that.
“We train them to become, or act like, diplomats and delegates of the United Nations,” Bastami said. “But, to be honest, the point of the program is to create hopeful, vocal scholars.” The scholarly work is what they do to prepare, the vocal work is in presenting their knowledge, and “hopeful is who they are for the future. So, if I can put together a hopeful, vocal scholar, then I’ve done my job as a director.”
The university’s Model United Nations program continued its tradition of excellence when it brought home Distinguished Delegation honors while representing Austria at the prestigious National Model United Nations Conference in New York City.
