2017 Mar 16

Mary Katherine Jones, a sophmore Journalism major at Ithaca College, was awarded Best Delegate at the Harvard National Model United Nations Conference on Feb. 19.

Jones worked as The Strait Times in the Press Corps committee, which she said she was automatically drawn to due to her interest in journalism.

"Throughout the weekend at the conference, I worked to produce about 16 articles on various topics from the point of view of The Straits Times," she said. "It was an amazing experience, and at the end of the weekend I was awarded Best Delegate in the Press Corps. I was completely shocked, as Harvard's conference is the largest and one of most competitive in the world."
