Vice-Chair Introduction: Ashwat Chidambaram

   


Hey everyone!

My name is Ashwat Chidambaram, and I am currently a Masters student here at UC Berkeley majoring in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, specializing in Machine Learning and Computer Vision for Autonomous Robotics. I have been involved in MUN on the high school circuit since freshman year, making this my 9th and final year in MUN. The reason I chose to join BMUN was so that I could get to share the same great experience I had in high school Model UN with all of you! I have always had the most fun both competing in and chairing historical crisis committees, which is why I am excited to be a Vice-Chair for this year's JCC committee on the Hearst-Pulitzer Circulation War! I hope you all leave committee with a working knowledge of both history and crisis, while also gaining experience competing in Model UN as a whole. Beyond MUN, I have a deep passion for aviation, and am currently a solo-certified private pilot. I also enjoy playing the drums, folding origami, listening to artists such as BoyWithUke and The Weeknd, and playing basketball and dodgeball for fun.

I can't wait to meet all of you in JCC, and see you at BMUN LXXII!

  Hi delegates! BMUN is just around the corner, so I wanted to revisit the process of writing resolutions! Before we even get into the details of resolutions, the format and jargon about resolutions can be quite confusing, but not to worry! BMUN has a Resolution Structure document, linked here , that covers all the details of these papers.  When turning your solutions into operative format, we want you to keep the SMART goals in mind: S - Specific , what exactly is this operative trying to achieve? M - Measurable , how will you know when this operative is successful? Are there any specific points that will make this solution more quantifiable? A - Attainable , is this solution genuinely possible? Is that clear in your operative? R - Relevant , will this operative positively contribute to solving this problem? T - Timely , when do you expect to achieve this solution by? Are these time-constraints reasonable? When in doubt, refer back to the SMART goals! They will really help tr...

  Hi delegates! My name is Brayden Matejka and I am so excited to be one of your vice chairs in the Joint Cabinet Crisis of the Berkeley Model United Nations LXXII conference!! I am a first year studying Astrophysics/Physics and Data Science at Berkeley, and this is my first year in BMUN. Before attending Berkeley, I lived in Huntington Beach, CA, and debated for for years in my high school's MUN program. Outside of grinding physics homework, I love watching movies (ask me for movie recommendations), building LEGOs, and hanging out with friends. I can't wait to see what creative and interesting plans you all have for this year's JCC!!
