SUMMARY:Global Conversations: The United Nations Post-2015
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the 70th anniversary of the United Nations and the halfway point in its global effort to eradicate poverty\, hunger\, and discrimination. But as the UN’s 193 member states look back at the success of the millennium development goals\, they also must assess their needs for its sustainable development goals—a new series of benchmarks\, which are set to expire in 2030. With the appointment of the ninth Secretary-General in the near future as well\, the next U.S. President is bound to have quite a lot on his or her plate going into office. \nMichael Eaton\, Executive Director of NCCA-NMUN (National Collegiate Conference Association – National Model United Nations) and Truman scholar\, will lead a discussion on how the new sustainable development goals will shape the future of the UN and its member states. \nMichael Eaton has served as Executive Director of NCCA-NMUN since 2004 and has helped expand National Model UN programming to include more than 6\,000 college participants annually. Prior to his current position\, he was the Director of Enrollment Services and Marketing for the Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs. Honors include being named a Truman Scholar. Mr. Eaton has served as an adjunct faculty member at Hamline University in St. Paul\, Minnesota\, a Trustee of the Center for UN Reform Education and board member and past-President of the United Nations Association of Minnesota. He is a current member of the National Council of UNA-USA and is pursuing a doctorate in international education at the University of Minnesota. Michael has a bachelor’s degree in economics\, summa cum laude\, from Concordia College in Moorhead\, MN and a master’s degree in nonprofit management and the scholar award from Hamline University in St. Paul\, MN. \nProduced in partnership with the Friends of the Minneapolis Central Library and United Nations Association Harold E. Stassen Division in Minnesota.

SUMMARY:The GroundTruth Project: International Reporting in a Dangerous World
DESCRIPTION:Today more than ever\, truthful\, in-depth reporting from international conflict zones that only on-the-ground journalists can provide is needed. This is exactly what The GroundTruth Project is doing. At the core of their work is the idea of “ground truth\,” which simply means being on the ground to tell the story of social justice issues that matter in an increasingly interconnected world. \nCharlie Sennott\, Founder and Executive Director of The GroundTruth Project and award-winning foreign correspondent\, will discuss how his organization is preparing the next generation of international journalists for the digital age\, and will share his own experiences as a reporter on the front lines of wars and insurgencies in 15 countries\, including the 2011 revolution in Cairo\, Egypt and the Arab Spring. \nCharles Sennott is an award-winning foreign correspondent\, author\, and editor with 30 years of experience. Sennott’s deep experience reporting internationally led him to launch The GroundTruth Project and to dedicate himself to training the next generation of international journalists for the digital age. Sennott is also the co-founder of GlobalPost\, an acclaimed international news website. Previously\, Sennott served as the Boston Globe’s Middle East Bureau Chief based in Jerusalem from 1997 to 2001 and as Europe Bureau Chief based in London from 2001 to 2005. \nProduced in partnership with University of Minnesota School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
