DIRECTOR

I remember my first MUN conference like it was yesterday. After 2 days of intense negotiation with 19 other dorky but smart diplomatic high school students since I was in G20, I remember the exact phrase I told my mom when I met her afterwards, “I want to do this every single year.” The moments of crisis and conflict, of negotiation and leadership—these were the moments I longed for… sitting in a boardroom striking a secret deal…the moments that made history.

The best part of MUN has to be the people and the memories that you make with them which you will have for a longtime. We are united by the strongest bond of common interests, and it amazes me that these delegates sitting and debating alongside me could potentially be Senators, diplomats, and important people of the future. As we all muddle back to our monotonous academic lives, half a year may pass without talking. But, conversations infallibly start up around August of every year in anticipation of the MUN season. Yes, we talk about conferences, awards, and committees, but we also discuss personal goals and disappointments.

This continuous open dialogue and the supportive MUN community is, by far, the most beautiful part of MUN. MUN has honestly made me a more confident person in committee, the classroom, and has helped my over all self-esteem.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR

It was ISM MUN 2019 and my first step in attaining confidence in my self. To be honest I was terribly unprepared. I was very nervous and didn’t open my mouth for the first three hours, but then I tried to involve myself. After that, there was no stepping back for me. From Roll Call to the Crises and from nervousness to best delegate it was a beautiful experience. It was like protecting your country if it was the worst and stand for it in the worst situation. The best thing which MUN thought me was involving people and accepting their ideas. MUN is a platform where everyone is heard. And it added a lot to my confidence and to be honest I MISS IT A LOT. Its just two days but believe me you will make many memories. And when you see people arguing and taking a stand, belive me you are going to regret being not prepared. In short it was just a blast. Can't wait to see you guys!!
