Beginning October 1, 2020, the United States will require anyone boarding an airplane for domestic travel or entering certain federal buildings to have a "verified" driver's license, state-issued ID card or be required to show additional proof of identification, such as a passport.

SJ Cadets to Participate in Yale Model UN.
|
|
During the weekend of January 23 - 26, 27 Cadets from the UCONN ECE International Relations class will be participating in Yale Model United Nations. There will be 1800 students at Yale - coming from as far away as The Peoples Republic of China and the Russian Federation - and 1 of every five students attending is from a school outside of the US.
During the weekend, all of the major Global issues currently facing the UN and its member agencies will be covered, including the condition of the environment, global health, international terrorism, refugee and displaced peoples, drug and human trafficking, and global economic issues. Committee meetings begin in the morning and end at 11:00 pm with crises committees being called out of their rooms to deal with global crises.
St Joseph has been given an outstanding group of committees at Yale. We have students on every General Assembly committee, every Economic and Social committee as well as a large representation on very small committees addressing specific global problems. We have members on the African Union, SEATO, World Health, The Press Corp, The AD Hoc Crises committee, the NGO Forum, the World Health Organization, The World Bank, the KGB on a crises committee, the European Commission, the Center for Disease Control as well as the Human Rights Council.
Students have been working very hard on these positions and are looking forward to the challenge. We thank our faculty and staff chaperoning our students for this great event.
