BMUN LXIX UNICEF

Hi everyone!  My name is Tess U-Vongcharoen and I am one of your vice-chairs for UNICEF. I am a first-year student studying Data Science with a possible minor in Statistics. Outside of BMUN, I love to swim and explore the best local eats to post on my food Instagram. I was a delegate at BMUN in high school, so I am so excited to be returning as a chair. This is a great opportunity to learn and have fun; don't stress too much. I hope you all have an amazing time at BMUN and I can't wait to meet everyone!

  Hey delegates! My name is Jolie, and I am one of the Vice Chairs for UNICEF! I am super excited to be a part of this committee and hear about all your cool ideas! This is my third year in BMUN, and I have been a vice-chair for DISEC and SPECPOL the last few years. I'm a third-year at Cal studying Political Science and Political Economy, and I enjoy learning about any related topics! Outside of BMUN, I also participate in political science research as an Undergraduate Fellow at the Center for Political Development and the Institute for International Studies at UC Berkeley. I spend my free time rock climbing, sunset watching, hiking, biking, and road-tripping to Lake Tahoe (as pictured above). I can't wait to meet you all!

Hello Delegates! Berkeley Model United Nations LXVII is less than two weeks away! Your positions papers are turned in. You've done your research! What now? Here are some general and committee tips and tricks! The first thing we want to emphasize to you, the delegates, is that Berkeley Model United Nations prides itself in creating environments for learning and growth . We are all here to support you in this learning process so do not be afraid to ask questions! As soon as y'all receive your position paper grades and comments, take some time to look through what we have written in the comments! There is always room for improvement (and for now, time!) to make your proposed solutions the best that they can be. Some good questions you and your partner should be thinking about: How can we communicate our proposed solutions in a clear and easily understood way? How can we do this in a 1 minute 30 second speech? How can we do this in a 30 second moderated caucus? What opposition can...

Delegates, I know most conferences do not have blogs so I just wanted to give you all some information about what you can expect from us and what we expect from you on the blog!  As far as what you can expect from us, there will be posts from each topic every week. These posts will include important and interesting articles. They are great to read to prepare you for conference as well as provide you with important additional research! These are hand selected by our dais and will steer you in the right direction as far as what we expect to discuss in committee.   In addition to posts on the topic, I will be giving you logistical information for the conference (technology policy, position paper information) as well as advice as on how to best be prepared for conference. These posts will help you understand  how we expect committee to run and  what we are looking for in a delegate.  As far as what we expect from you, we hope the blog will be a valuable resourc...

Hi Delegates! My name is Annalise Fox and I will be a head chair for UNICEF this year! I am currently senior at UC Berkeley majoring in Global Studies and minoring in Early Learning & Development Science, Public Policy, and Education. I have been doing MUN now for 8 years and have loved every minute! I hope to give you guys as a great of an experience as I had as a delegate when I went to BMUN. On campus, aside from BMUN, I work with Americorps as a teacher at a Head Start preschool for children under the poverty line in Oakland and as a Teacher's Assistant at the Berkeley Early Childhood Education Program. I am also a Research Assistant in the Zhou Family and Culture Lab currently researching the impact of being bilingual on socio-emotional development.   Outside of school I love baking, birdwatching, crocheting, and watching hockey. I'm also an avid hiker and hope to soon visit all the national parks (I only have 9 left woo!). I can't wait to see you all at BMUN 68!
