When writing the position paper is there a preferred format for citing references such as MLA?

No, we do not require citations for position papers. Students have one page (back and front), and thus should focus on information rather than sources.

If students directly quote someone they should include the person's name (i.e. Secretary General Moon recently said, "[quote].")

Hope this helps.

Next week will be a longer post. If you have questions let me know.
