Esteemed Delegates,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Disarmament and International Security Committee of the twenty-sixth session of the Ivy League Model United Nations Conference. My name is Perry Wang and I will be your chair for what will certainly be an exhilarating weekend for all to enjoy.

To introduce myself, I am a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences majoring in Economics. I am originally from the Philadelphia suburbs and this conference will be my eighth year of Model UN. Previously, I have worked extensively with UPMUNC, our collegiate conference. Outside of the IAA, I spend my free time enjoying the good life: baseball, Penn traditions, and my fraternity.

Regardless of your Model UN experience, I hope that you will all find ILMUNC to be challenging and stimulating but most importantly, fun. I have no question that all of you will be able to take on the problems of world posed over the course of the conference. I look forward to meeting and working with each of you throughout the course of the weekend.

Warmest regards,

Perry Wang
Chair, Disarmament and International Security
Ivy League Model United Nations Conference XXVI

 

To the esteemed delegates of the Disarmament and International Security Committee,

It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the best committee at ILMUNC this year! My name is Payal Sobti and I am honored to be the chair of the First Committee of the General Assembly.

I am currently a senior at Penn studying Economics and am from the NYC area. Here on campus, I am very involved in the International Affairs Association (the umbrella organization for ILMUNC and our college conference UPMUNC) and am also a tour guide for the Undergraduate Admissions Office. Penn is an absolutely terrific place and has opened an infinite number of opportunities for me, so please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about Penn, Philadelphia or simply the college application process. I would be more than happy to help as some of you embark on your own journeys of college admissions.

I look forward to an enjoyable and surely memorable weekend at my last ILMUNC. It is my hope that this committee will enable you to understand the most current and urgent international security issues of our time. In committee, I am eager to see stimulating debate and high quality solutions that aim to solve the world’s most pressing issues. Outside committee, I hope to see you make lifelong friendships with your fellow delegates (and of course, me!).

I wish you all the best of luck preparing for committee. Please take advantage of the background guides that have been provided to you. I look forward to getting to know you all better in a weekend full of enthusiastic debate, scintillating events, and without a doubt, some humorously memorable moments.

Best,

Payal Sobti
