BMUN LXX HAITIAN

 Hello, delegates and welcome to the Haitian Revolution crisis committee of BMUN 70!  My name is Mathilde McKeever and I am thrilled to be serving as the Head Chair for this committee. I’ve been imagining a Model UN crisis committee focused on the Haitian Revolution for some time now, and I am excited to see how it plays out during our conference! A little bit about myself. I am currently in my fourth year at UC Berkeley, studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. In my free time, I love to read, swim, bake, and go on road trips around California.  I also have a particular fondness for snowy days (though sadly we don’t get many of those in Berkeley) and hot fudge sundaes. Aside from BMUN, I am involved in various teaching organizations on campus and I am a TA for Berkeley’s introductory computer science course.  I am also joined by my lovely vice-chairs, Aisha, Alana, Chloe, and Srisai in chairing this committee. They have also introduced themselves in ear...

Hey everyone! My name is Aisha and I'll be one of your Vice Chair for the Haitian Revolution this year! I'm a freshman at Berkeley intending to major in Physics and Data Science. I've done MUN all throughout high school, and now I'm excited for the opportunity to finally chair a committee! Aside from BMUN, I really enjoy watching Marvel movies, playing boardgames, and exploring restaurants in the Berkeley area! Crisis is my favorite part of MUN because you get to act as a director, scriptwriter, and actor all at the same time. I'm excited to see how you all use these roles to navigate through the Haitian Revolution. I look forward to meeting you all in March!   

Hello and welcome to the Haitian Revolution committee! My name is Chloe Frank and I will be serving as one of your vice chairs this year. I'm a sophomore majoring in History and got my start in MUN at BMUN's very own Delegate Workshop back in 2016, an experience that influenced my decision to attend Berkeley. I also, predictably, really enjoy chairing historical crises. Outside of BMUN, I'm involved in the DeCal Program, which supports student-taught courses; explore Cal's many amazing libraries, museums, and maker spaces; and play soccer.  I'm looking forward to meeting you all and seeing the great work you will do. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me at cfrank@ HIDDEN JUNK bmun.org with any questions :)

 Hi everyone! My name is Alana, and I'll be one of your vice chairs for the Haitian Revolution committee this year. I'm a freshman at Berkeley intending to major in Molecular and Cell Biology. This is my sixth year doing Model UN, so I'm so excited to be chairing my first conference in college! When I'm not prepping for BMUN, you can find me exploring Berkeley's campus, eating pho, and window shopping in San Francisco. Although MUN can be daunting at first, I also believe that it's one of the most rewarding extracurriculars out there. Throughout high school, being in MUN continually challenged me to become a better public speaker, negotiator, and more informed world citizen. I hope you leave BMUN feeling like you grew in the same way. I'm looking forward to hearing some dynamic debate and meeting you all in March!

Hi everyone! My name is Srisai Nachuri, and I'm one of your Vice Chairs for Haitian Revolution for BMUN 70! I'm currently a junior at Cal studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I was born and raised in the Bay Area, so studying at Berkeley, I've pretty much been here my whole life. Nevertheless, I've greatly enjoyed my time at Berkeley and have been involved in many communities here including BMUN, research, and teaching. In my free time I enjoy playing basketball with friends, finding new trails to run on, and being in the outdoors. As a high school student, I was very involved with debate, and I truly value the educational value that MUN provides, including research skills and public speaking. This is my third conference chairing, and I'm always amazed by what delegates bring into committee! For our topic specifically, the Haitian Revolution is fascinating yet often overlooked point in history. There's many complex events and actors involved, an...
