SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University celebrates the following recent student achievements:

    Junior geography major Daniel Milbrath of Dickerson, MD, recently helped the Mid-Atlantic All-Star Team to its second consecutive victory in the American Association of Geographers’ World Geography Bowl (WGB) quiz competition during the organization’s annual conference in Washington, D.C. Dr. Fulbert Namwamba, SU professor of geography and environmental studies, aided the team, which bested nine others to take the title. This is the second national championship WGB team of which Milbrath has been a member.

    SU’s Model United Nations Club was named an Outstanding Delegation — the highest possible group honor — for its representation of Palestine, an observer state, during this year’s National Model United Nations Conference in New York.

Two team members — junior political science and international studies major Zia Ashraf of Federalsburg, MD, and senior social work and political science major Eleanor Brown of Ijamsville, MD — also earned an Outstanding Position Paper honor.
