BYU student named an outstanding delegate
A Brigham Young University professor and student participated in the North American Forum on Integration's fourth annual Triumvirate, a North-American Model Parliament, in Montreal during the end of May.
Earl H. Fry, Canadian studies coordinator and professor of political science, and Darren Jackson, a senior majoring in international relations, were active at the conference, where 100 university students from Canada, Mexico and the United States conducted an international negotiation exercise, simulating a parliamentary meeting between the North American political players.
Jackson received an award for Outstanding Delegate and signed the guest book, called the Livre d'Or, in behalf of all the U.S. delegates.
