"Leon Charney’s role in the Camp David Accords showed me that real diplomacy happens through relationships, not just titles," said Tarruck Wheeler, a senior International Studies student at FAU attending the National Model United Nations Conference in New York.

In the midst of the Israel-Gaza war, my focus has been predominantly on the conflict's human toll and political implications.
