The year is 2100. Two crack teams are working to avoid galactic warfare between Earth and Mars — and at the center of it all is Will Hanvey, the head delegate for Northeastern University’s student International Relations Council. The futuristic scenario formed the basis of a so-called “crisis room” at the recent London International Model United Nations conference.
Hanvey walked away from the emergency talks having helped prevent a battle between Martians and Earthlings — and also took home to New England the award for best delegate in the crisis room. His was one of three awards that the six-person team snared during the February event. Nylah Hill was recognized as the best delegate in the Disaster Risk Reduction Committee while the council team, completed by Nasyve Beech, Brooke Rhodes, Lily Zanze and Mallory Mitton, won the best small delegation award — a category for teams with 10 members or fewer — for the second year running.
