The Leon Charney Diplomacy à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã at Florida Atlantic University recently competed in the National Model United Nations competition in Washington, D.C. and finished first overall out of 60 competing universities. This is the first ever national title for the program.
The Leon Charney Diplomacy à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã, which trains à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã in world affairs, dispute resolution and debate, was established in 1996 and is a unit of the Peace, Justice & Human Rights à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã. To date, the program has won 32 national and international awards for academic excellence.
