Economics Officer Annika Betancourt and Political Officer Rafael Diaz met with four Greek high school students from the Panagiotopoulos School in Athens who will take part in a Model United Nations competition in late March.  The students will take on the role of the United States in the mock U.N. General Assembly and they wanted to learn more about the stance of the U.S. on several topics.  To prepare them for the competition, Annika and Rafael briefed the four students and their two teachers on the U.S. position on human rights issues, international security, debt sustainability, and other economic issues.  We wish the delegation the best of luck!
