Committee Profile

Coming soon!

Chair Letter

Hello Delegates!

I am so excited to welcome you all to BruinMUN 33! My name is Chania Rene-Corail, and I will serve as your chair for the Novice UN Women committee. I am a second year International Development Studies and Political Science major. After college, I hope to go into international and human rights advocacy. Outside of school, I am somewhat of a theatre kid and I absolutely adore writing and directing new plays!

I started Model UN in high school, with my first seven conferences taking place over Zoom. Despite this setback, I fell in love with all aspects of MUN, and decided to stick with the activity. Over my four years of high school MUN, I met some of my best friends, and was able to introduce younger students to the activity by serving as president of my club. Trying out for the UCLA team was one of the first things I did this school year. From attending other universities’ conferences to staffing UCLA’s very own BruinMUN and LAMUN, I now truly feel that I have found my place within the MUN community, and I am so thrilled that you all now have the opportunity to do so as well!

What makes UN Women so exciting is that, as a general assembly committee, it enables you to discuss relevant real-world issues. I hope that your experience at BruinMUN will expand your worldview and make you all the more interested in the many important global events occurring around you. I am looking forward to hearing new and original ideas that represent the best interests of a variety of nations while also striving to improve the lives of women around the globe. I also carry the hope that BruinMUN will be an opportunity for personal growth, whether that be in your public speaking skills, your ability to work with others, or perhaps even in your research and writing abilities.

As this is a novice committee, I expect that many of you will have questions. Please feel free to reach out at any point before the conference. I look forward to meeting you all!

Best,

Chania
