UN ElectionParticipate in the Mock United Nations Election! 
In commemoration of United Nations Day (October 24th) and as a celebration of the excitement for US elections this year, the Rice community is invited to participate in electing a (make-believe) future UN leader.
The fun includes nominating who you think would make a great leader to promote world peace and unity, and why you chose this nominee.  Nominees can be real or animated, alive or deceased, well-known in the world or perhaps just within the Rice community.  Creativity is encouraged!
