This past week the Model UN society headed to New York City for the annual NMUN (National Model United Nations) conference. The conference took place at the New York Hilton in Midtown. The team arrived Saturday, April 1st and got back to Antigonish on the 7th.

The trip had highs and lows, from an expired passport to an appendicitis diagnosis; it definitely was a trip that will not be forgotten. Despite not winning any awards, StFX received an honorable mention, the team learned about global issues, brainstormed solutions, experienced city life, and made new friends from all across the globe.

It’s no secret to any university student that exercising is beneficial to their health. Yet, with exams approaching, essays, and final papers due, many students do not feel they can carve out time in their busy schedules for a workout.



This is completely understandable. However, what if I told you that even doing a quick 20-minute workout could enhance academic performance long-term?

I talked with Tyrell Vernon, Coach of the X-Men Basketball team, to discuss the X-Men’s Basketball U SPORTS Championship that took place from the 10th-12th of March.

When asked how he would assess the way the team played over the weekend, Coach Vernon stated “Obviously, it didn't end the way that we wanted it to. But I think we put ourselves in the situation to win every single game, so now it's just kind of you know, back to the drawing board a little bit to figure out some things that we can change for next season.” He continued, saying that he feels “everybody gave everything that they had, that's for sure.”

This week, I sat down with student Derin Derici to discuss some fundraising efforts she organized for Turkey. As most know, Turkey and Syria were hit with 7.8 and 7.7 earthquakes on February 6, 2023. The damage has been severe, and the people of Turkey and Syria need our help.

When beginning the interview, I asked Ms. Derici to introduce herself. Derin Derici is currently in her fifth year at StFX. She has already completed a degree in Marketing last year and will graduate with a degree in Economics this year. Originally from Bolu, Turkey, Ms. Derici has been very involved in the campus community. She works for Convenience U and X-Patrol. She has given campus tours and been the International Representative for the Students’ Union. Furthermore, Ms. Derici has acted as an off-campus leader as well. Currently, Ms. Derici is also the Marketing Director for the Schwartz Business Society.
