MHC Delegation to Dubai
 Nicole
M. Tuma is a junior at Mount Holyoke College
majoring in international relations and minoring in complex organizations.
Born and raised in Detroit,
Michigan, with a multiracial and national heritage, she brings
to the College a great interest in the construction of political,
racial,
and social identities. At Mount Holyoke she has served as the political
action chair for the Association of Pan African Unity, public relations
chair for the Economics Club, campus liaison for the Debate Team,
chair of the Student Advisory Board for the Center for Global
Initiatives, as well as the president of a service sorority in
the Pioneer Valley.
This past summer she interned with Pfizer Pharmaceuticals
as a sales representative. To Dubai she brings intense enthusiasm,
sensitivity to cultural literacy, and extensive experience in collegiate
models of effective democratic government.
 Emily
Freeman is in
her third year at Mount Holyoke College. Emily is a critical
social thought major focusing on political legitimacy
in the Middle East and an economics minor. This is her third year
as a member of the Model United Nations team; her first year she
ran a crisis for the Afghani Cabinet during MUN’s annual
conference, her second year she directed crises for every committee,
and this
year she is chair of the entire team. She was born in Cairo, Egypt,
and has lived in Malaysia, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, and,
most recently, Qatar. She has also lived in Florida and Colorado,
where she graduated from Fairview High School. Her plans for life
after college include continuing her studies of Arab political
systems and, hopefully, working on education policy or teaching
abroad.
 Katie
Kraschel is a senior biochemistry major,
originally from Clear Lake, Iowa. She has participated in Student
Government Association (SGA)
and the varsity soccer team since she arrived at Mount Holyoke.
She has since served as
a captain of the soccer team, chair of Student Senate, and, currently,
president of the SGA. She has also worked as a mentor/tutor
in the chemistry
department and was an intern at Pfizer Global
Research and Development in Groton, Connecticut, for the past two
summers.
 Molly
Aplet is a senior at Mount Holyoke College.
She was born and raised in northern California, several
hours
north
of San Francisco.
She is a computer
science and philosophy double major, focusing on logic,
theory of computation, and
language. She was SGA (Student Government Association)
parliamentarian for three years, reshaping the role
and eventually leading
a committee to re-write the SGA Constitution. She is
now the SGA
public relations officer. She is also a “swebtech,” or
student Web technology consultant, for the Mount Holyoke
Library, and in this capacity
has learned to design curriculum and teach workshops
to small groups (up to 20 students). She loves learning
about
different
systems of student government and how they function.
The students will be accompanied
by Beth Gibney Boulden, Associate Director of Student Programs
and Adviser to the Student Government Association and student
organizations.
