The Schoharie Valley Townsite project was an ambitious 1960 study by Cornell University students and faculty to design a city that could withstand a nuclear attack. The proposed city would be located in upstate New York and house 9,000 people in underground shelters connected by tunnels. All critical infrastructure like homes, schools and a factory would be built to withstand the blast and fallout from a 20 megaton nuclear bomb detonated 10 miles away. The largely underground design was meant to allow residents to survive and maintain industrial production even after a nuclear attack. While an interesting academic exercise, the project does not seem to have had any real-world impact and civil defense planning declined in the 1960s.

California's water supply is highly variable due to its narrow rainy season and dependence on a few large storms each year. The current multi-year drought is characteristic of the state's climate, but climate change is projected to exacerbate water stresses by reducing snowpack and increasing temperatures. While droughts will remain a natural part of California's climate, human-caused warming from greenhouse gas emissions will likely increase the intensity, duration, and frequency of droughts in the future.

1. Every year InterConnections 21 (IC
21) provides numerous opportunities for
globally curious students, both locally and
within greater Teton region. With programs
ranging from volunteer-based service
trips to national Model United Nations
(MUN) conferences and even a local MUN
conference, the possibilities offered to our
students really are limitless.
Personally, InterConnections 21 has
impacted my outlook on the world since
I was first introduced to the organization
in 8th grade. Since then I have attended
multiple trainings hosted by IC 21,
participated in national trips for Model
United Nations (MUN), attended national
environmental conferences, and most
recently assisted in hosting the 10th annual
Teton County Model United Nations as the
Secretary General.
I was proud to be the Secretary General
of the 10th annual Teton County Model
United Nations conference. Over the
past 10 years IC 21 has had 1,478 student
registrations! InterConnections 21
launched this program 10 years ago with
only 3 schools (Jackson Hole High School,
Jackson Hole Community School, and
Journeys School of Teton Science Schools),
and only 72 students. In the decade since
the conference’s inception, the number of
schools participating is now 11, with up
to 223 students at a single conference. In
addition to bringing schools from all over
Wyoming, TCMUN draws delegates from 3
schools in Idaho as well.
As Secretary General I had the honor of
interacting with and observing 199 students
from all around Wyoming and Idaho as they
debated in the Teton County Model United
Nations conference. I loved watching
as the delegates debated worldly topics
with knowledge and passion and drafted
solutions based on the months of research
they did. For a large part of the conference
I sat in on a committee that focused on
environmental issues, because that is my
personal passion, but the list of committee
topics was so interesting that it was hard for
me to stay in one place. Toward the end of
the conference, I found myself more focused
on the resolutions that had been passed in
committee session and worked towards
preparing them for closing ceremonies. It
was during this process that my months of
hard work really paid off as I got to stand
before all of the delegates and congratulate
them on the fantastic work they had done,
both in and out of the conference. Being
able to open and close the Teton County
Model United Nations conference that had
introduced me to a larger global community
meant everything to me. I can only wish for
that positive of an experience for all of my
peers.
It is because of this exact experience that
I advocate so strongly for Model United
Nations. Just through trying parliamentary
procedure in committee students learn
voting procedures, the processes of points
and motions, speech giving techniques
and the fundamental rules of group debate.
And with those skills they can take on new
and challenging roles, just adding to the
incredible community of global thinkers we
have here in Jackson Hole.

2. Every March, over 1,500 high school students from all over
the world travel to Berkeley to participate in the Berkeley Model
United Nations conference. On March 3, 11 students from
Journeys School and the Jackson Hole Community School will
travel to the University of
Berkeley in California for
the 64th annual Berkeley
Model United Nations
conference. Berkeley
Model United Nations
(BMUN) is a student-
run organization on the
UC Berkeley campus
dedicated to continuing its
six decades of excellence
as the world’s premier, and very first, United Nations simulation.
BMUN’s mission is to spread awareness of international issues
and the spirit of diplomacy. The conference also aims to create
an educational experience for high school students to help them
realize their potential in public speaking as well as policy debate.
In the context of our mission to promote student learning
and action about critical global issues, InterConnections 21 has
made participation in national Model United Nations (MUN)
conferences one of our signature programs. Ongoing mentoring
of high school students, who are motivated and passionate about
global issues and keen to develop their leadership skills, is a high
priority for IC 21. MUN conferences simulate various bodies and
agencies of the United Nations. Students from around the state,
country, and world get together at such conferences to play the
roles of delegates from different countries, assigned to them by
the conference organizers.
MUN involves dynamic
debate, public speaking,
research, teamwork,
leadership, and critical
thinking about important
global issues.
At the Berkeley MUN
conference, students
will spend three days in
committee sessions, where
they will uphold their assigned countries’ positions on pre-
assigned topics. Each student is currently working on a paper that
frames their country’s stance on the assigned topics. These papers
will be submitted prior to the conference in an effort to win an
award for academic research. Leading up to the conference, IC 21
will host weekend training sessions for all participants, wherein
they can hone their skills at using parliamentary procedure, swap
research tips, and seek guidance on their papers. In addition to a
very busy conference schedule, students will take a UC Berkeley
campus tour and, if we can squeeze it in, go on a double-decker
bus tour of San Francisco!
On Sunday, November 15, InterConnections 21 welcomed the
2015 Teton Model United Nations keynote speaker, Trevor Houser,
to a packed house at the Jackson Hole Community School. Mr.
Houser is a former Jackson resident and is currently a partner
with the Rhodium Group and leads the firm’s energy and natural
resources work. He is also a visiting fellow at the Peterson Institute
for International Economics in Washington, an adjunct lecturer at
the City College of New York, and a visiting fellow at the school’s
Colin Powell Center for Policy Studies. He is a member of the
Council on Foreign Relations and the National Committee on US-
China Relations and serves on the Advisory Board of Center for
US-China Relations at the Asia Society. In 2009, Mr. Houser served
as a Senior Advisor to the U.S. State Department and also served
as a U.S. climate change negotiator through the 2009 Copenhagen
Conference. He has traveled and worked extensively overseas.
Mr. Houser spoke and took questions about “Climate Change
Negotiations and the Prospects for a Global Deal in Paris.” He
delivered a rousing lecture on what we could anticipate coming out
of the Paris climate talks, which took place in December of 2015,
and discussed his unique path to becoming an expert in his field
of environmental policy. The question-and-answer period proved
quite interesting as he fielded thoughtful questions from many
of the TCMUN participants and community members alike. The
discussion concluded with an exploration of the possible outcomes
for Wyoming after the Paris climate talks, given Wyoming’s large
coal and oil industries.

3. Mark Jenkins Returns to Jackson to
Discuss His Epic Burmese Adventure
In partnership with the University of Wyoming’s Center for
Global Studies, IC 21 is pleased to announce the return of Mark
Jenkins, a National Geographic writer whose last presentation
in Jackson was standing room only! On Sunday, March 6, at
5:30 p.m. at the National
Wildlife Museum, Mark
will give a talk entitled
“Burma’s Resurrection:
An Expedition Deep Into
A Forbidden Land.” Last
year, Jenkins, along with
a team of North Face
athletes, attempted to
climb the highest peak in
Burma, Hkakabo Razi,
which reaches 19,300 feet.
The peak lies in the far
north of the country on
the border of Tibet. Taking
trains, motorcycles, buses,
and a boat up the Irrawaddy River, and then hiking for two weeks
through an almost impenetrable jungle, the team battled leeches,
poisonous spiders, and venomous snakes. From basecamp they
set out to ascend the serrated, heavily glaciated West Ridge of
Hkakabo Razi.
Their expedition was featured in the September 2015 issue of
National Geographic Magazine in the story, “Point of No Return,”
and in the Renan Ozturk documentary “Down to Nothing.” Mr.
Jenkins’ presentation will provide a complete account of this
unrivaled expedition to
Burma---stories of hardship
and hilarity, bear hunters
and Buddhist monks, fear,
failure and freedom. Prior
to Mr. Jenkins’ lecture,
three students supported
by University of Wyoming
Center for Global Studies
Fellowships will give
presentations about their
fieldwork. The “What in the
World?” presentations will
be at 4:00 p.m. at the National
Wildlife Art Museum.
The presentations are an
opportunity to present their work, which focuses on sustainable
development and land management themes with work from
Panama, Kyrgyzstan, and Nepal. Join us at the National Wildlife
Art Museum to learn about the great work taking place through
the Center for Global Studies!

InterConnections 21 has been working in the valley
and around the state of Wyoming for seventeen years to
connect our students and community to important global
issues. IC 21 brings world-class lecturers to our corner of
the state with our Global Speakers Series. Your support
of IC 21 allows for us to continue to host speakers such as
Nicholas Kristof, Tracy Kidder, Paul Farmer, and Ishmael
Beah, just to name a few. These events reach hundreds of
community members who relish the opportunity to hear
speakers of this caliber in Jackson. For Nicholas Kristof
alone, the event was completely sold out! This equated to
500 people from our community who attended a single
event.
In addition, InterConnections 21 provides scholarships
to students who need financial assistance in order to
participate in our programs--from TCMUN registration
fees to international service trips and national conference
attendance. A local Jackson parent wrote to us about
her daughter’s receipt of a scholarship to attend a MUN
conference in Washington D.C. last March:
Support IC 21 in our mission to connect students, teachers, and our community to critical global issues by donating
today! You can donate online or you can mail your donation to PO Box 4399, Jackson, WY 83001.
Thank you very much for awarding financial aid to my child to participate in theWAMUN [Washington Area Model United
Nations Conference] this year! This grant award made the event feasible for our family. Because of the scholarship, she had the
opportunity to work collaboratively and think critically about global issues with students from around the country. I recognize
that the MUN conferences have fostered a profound interest in world affairs. We couldn’t have done it without you. Bravo IC21
& Thanks again!
A senior Jackson Hole High School student recently reflected,
I can proudly say that IC 21 has had a huge impact on my perception of the world, by providing me with opportunities I could
not get elsewhere in Jackson. IC 21 has allowed me to take on the role of a delegate from country states such as India, Thailand,
and Burkina Faso and participate in debates to form solutions with fellow delegates. It has allowed me to travel to Pittsburgh
where I spent 3 days learning about a wide range of environmental issues and solutions with some of the most passionate people
in the country. It has allowed me to stand in front of 199 of my peers and call to order a conference that I was instrumental in
planning. And, it has allowed me to meet some of the most influential people in my life, people that I look up to or confide in for
information; ultimately people who have become my friends and my global teammates.
