Two Adelphi Students Selected as UN Youth Representatives
Adelphi University is proud to announce that students Michelle Consorte ’12 and Anustha Shrestha ’15, have been selected to serve as the University's "UN Youth Representatives,” as part of United Nations Department of Public Information’s (DPI) "NGO Relations Youth Initiative." The United Nations now allows affiliated NGOs (non-governmental organizations) to annually appoint two representatives to serve as youth liaisons. This new opportunity is being coordinated by Adelphi’s newly formed International Leadership Coordinating Committee.Consorte and Shrestha will have the opportunity to attend weekly briefings on international affairs at the UN Headquarters in New York City, and will write a blog for Adelphi about relevant developments, which will allow them to communicate and distribute information about UN NGO activities to the Adelphi community. The representatives will act as a link connecting Adelphi's student body to the UN. Additionally, they will engage and work with other UN Youth Representatives from fellow NGOs from around the world in collaborative projects and initiatives at the UN, bringing the voice of the youth to the forefront of conversations (and debates) on international affairs and the Millennium Development Goals. Consorte and Shrestha will participate in youth representative training, as well as specialized training in NGO strategic communications.
Michelle Consorte, from Greenlawn, NY, is an English major with a communications minor. She is a proud member of the Levermore Global Scholars (LGS) Program and has “thoroughly enjoyed every opportunity it's presented [her] with.” Consorte has a number of outstanding accomplishments and has participated in Adelphi’s Community Fellows Program and Bard College’s Program on Globalization and International Affairs. She has made the Dean’s Lists every semester (2008-2011) and has been inducted into the Sigma Tau Delta English Honors Society. Over the past five years, she also has raised significant funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Anustha Shrestha is an economics major and international student from Kathmandu, Nepal. Shrestha is involved on campus as a member of Circle K International, International Student Society and Student Government Association. Her other honors include a first place win in the Ambassador of Pakistan Essay Writing Contest (2009), and a Best Speaker award in the United Nations Development Program and Pragya Foundation National Debate (2008).
The UN Department of Public Information acknowledges the importance of youth in its work with Non-Governmental Organizations. Over the past two years, it has increased its youth activities and has allowed for more visible participation of youth representatives in its work. The initial step was to ensure that NGO delegations to the Annual UN DPI/NGO Conference had a youth representative participating. After the successful participation of youth during the 62nd UN DPI/NGO Conference that took place in Mexico in 2009, it was decided that the youth participation should be increased. Now, designated youth representatives can also participate in regular UN DPI activities throughout the year.
