Eden Prairie Local News (EPLN) is proud to periodically recognize Eden Prairie post-secondary students who are honored by the colleges and universities they attend.
EPLN relies on schools to send us this information. If you don’t see your student’s school listed, please send your student’s name, the school’s name and location, award (e.g., dean’s list, graduation), year in school and major to editor@eplocalnews.org with the subject “On Campus.”
Attends Model UN
Emily Van Dixhorn, a student at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was one of 16 Carthage Model United Nations students, accompanied by Professor Jeffrey Roberg, who traveled to Singapore to attend the Nanyang Technological University Model United Nations (NTUMUN) conference over spring break from March 9-18. Over 200 delegates from 15 countries were in attendance. Carthage College was the only American school in attendance.
Model UN helps students to sharpen their “hard” and “soft” skills through research, writing, public speaking, and diplomacy. In addition to helping students build and refine these skills, they also see an increase in confidence in presenting their views in a potentially stressful environment.
