 Hi delegates! My name is Siddhant Vasudevan (Sid) and I can't wait to see everyone in committee. I am a junior studying mechanical engineering at Berkeley and this is my first year as a part of BMUN. I grew up in New Delhi, India, and I participated in a few Model UN conferences during high school. I'm so excited to once again be a part of the community and I'm really looking forward to conference! Outside of classes I enjoy playing tennis and cricket, making art, and going on road trips or adventures. See you all soon!

Hi delegates, We're so excited for conference. Please see my email newsletter for final updates! You can also email jcc72@bmun.org with questions or schedule an office hours slot Tuesday or Wednesday this week (see my previous post or email).

Please rely on your research, writing, and critical thinking skills but also be creative and innovate--you have the opportunity to change the course of history! Looking forward to meeting you all on Friday.  Best, Miya Rosenthal (Head Chair) & Your Whole JCC Dais
