BMUN LXIX UNSC

Hello delegates! Just a friendly reminder that the deadline to turn in your position papers is approaching soon. The deadline to be considered for a research award is February 2nd , and the deadline to be considered for ANY award during committee is February 9th ! If you need guidance on how to format and write your position paper, https://learnbmun.squarespace.com/position-paper-overview is a great way to get started! For open agenda, feel free to write about any current international affairs topic that interests you:)  Also, I wanted to take this time to dive in a little deeper about what we will look for during committee. BMUN is a teaching conference, meaning we hope that you all attending will leave conference weekend having gained some additional knowledge- whether that be on the international issues we will discuss or public speaking skills. Thus, it is important to us that we all maintain a welcoming atmosphere that will promote this learning. We want to emphasize that...

 Hi guys! My name is Sora Kanosue, and I'll be one of your vice chairs for Security Council this year. I'm a sophomore at UC Berkeley studying Computer Science. This is my 6th year in Model United Nations, and my 2nd year in BMUN. Outside of BMUN, I'm an academic intern for the Discrete Math class in the Computer Science department here, and also work as a math tutor in my spare time. I'm also a member of the Berkeley club squash team, and play tennis with my friends when I can. In my spare time I enjoy playing 2k, and am also a suffering Knicks fan. Can't wait to see you guys at conference! Sora

 Hi everyone! My name is Marine Fujisawa, a fourth year studying political science and economics here at UC Berkeley. This is my fourth and final year in BMUN after joining as a freshman. Over the years,  I have chaired Security Council, PRESS Corps, and a Rwandan crisis committee. I am so thrilled to be back for a second time to chair Security Council this year.

Despite conference being virtual this year, I plan on doing everything possible to enhance everyone's learning experience. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!  Outside of BMUN, I am also involved in a consulting organization and greek life. I also like to go to the beach, explore museums, and read- so let me know if you have any recommendations!
