3Qs: Representing a new Syria
Northeastern’s International Relations Council (IRC) recently sent a delegation to the Southeast Regional Model Arab League competition to represent Syria. The Northeastern delegation took a nontraditional approach, choosing to attend as the Syrian National Council, which is leading the uprising against the government of Bashar al-Assad. We asked IRC president Lara Cole to explain the club’s approach to the competition, in which Northeastern tied for first place.
