Best Delegate’s 2018 Model United Nations Institute would not have been possible without the university staff that was hired to help run our programs. We owe thanks to our eleven Diplomacy Fellows, three Residential Counselors, and Program Manager that came from around the world to teach 870 students this past summer. One such fellow, Madeleine Northfield, traveled from Canada to serve as a Diplomacy Fellow for MUNI 2018.
Madeleine Northfield
Here are her thoughts on being a Diplomacy Fellow:
“Being a diplomacy fellow last summer was one of the most educational and rewarding experiences of my university career to date. Going into it I knew I was going to learn a ton from the kids I worked with, but was still blown away by the intelligence and desire to learn from every single group I worked with each week. Every time I challenged groups to work harder, talk louder or with more passion they met the challenge and the progress I was able to see in such a short period of time was incredible. More than that however, was what I learned from the people I worked with. I never could have imagined getting to be a part of such a talented, passionate and driven team. They taught me more about myself than any group of people I’ve ever worked with which has had a profound impact on my life and in the process I got to make friendships that have become some of the most meaningful and strongest I’ve ever had.”
