Clemson Student From Rock Hill Wins Award in Sweden

A pair of Clemson students teamed up to win an international award during a Model United Nations conference in Sweden.

Adedoyin Salami of Rock Hill and Natasha Korba of Bristol, Conn., were named Outstanding Delegation to the Food and Agriculture Committee.

They attended the Model United Nations conference in Stockholm with six other students and a faculty adviser, political science professor Michael Morris.

University teams represent countries in the United Nations at the conference and debate to pass resolutions that promote their individual national interests as well as global interests.

“This conference meant a great deal to me as a Clemson student and as an American citizen,” said Salami, president of Clemson’s Model UN team from 2006 to 2008. “Being the only American university that made it through the interview process was a great honor and also provided us with a great challenge.”
