Alex Sutton is a proud Slovene majoring in Political Science with a minor in Economics. He serves as Senate President of the FIU Student Government, and is FIU MUN’s resident frat boy, as a proud brother of Theta Chi Fraternity. He served as one of the team’s Head Delegates last year, and is really good at Model UN but only ok at speaking Slovenian, even though he lived in Ljubljana for 6 months in 2017. Last year, he was the Chair and Director of the Specialized committee on the First Esperanto World Congress. A Miami-native, both of his maternal grandparents were born in Slovenia, which at the time was a Socialist Republic in Yugoslavia. Alex is a proud Panther Nationalist and is overjoyed to welcome delegates to FIU. His academic interests include the intersection of political theory and postmodern philosophy, the geopolitics of the Antarctic, and democratic institution building and reform. After graduating in 2024, Alex hopes to pursue a JD and start his career in International Law. He can’t wait to meet everyone and hopes that navigating the breakup of Yugoslavia and the establishment of democracy in Slovenia is riveting for all involved.
