Study Guide Coming Soon!

Hi everyone :) I'm Sophie, and I'm currently in my final year of studying a Politics and International Relations Degree in UCL. I'm from Hong Kong, but I've been studying in the UK since Sixth Form, which is also where my MUN journey started. This is why I'm particularly excited to chair ECOSOC to make sure you all also have a great first exposure to university style conferences. Moreover, one of my main focuses in my course is economic policy, and I hope you all have a fulfilling time exploring it in a global context. Outside of MUN and my course, I can be found buying games from Steam (even though my laptop has only 201 GB left), reading my Kindle or masquerading as a finance bro. I hope you have a great weekend with fruitful debate (and do come up to me if you see we have overlapping fandoms from the stickers on my laptop!)

Head Chair: Sophie Chee

Hi I’m Jonno, and I’m a 1st Year BA Geography student at LSE. I’m from Switzerland and Uganda, and I’ve been doing MUN for a few years now. My favourite part of MUN is definitely getting to debate from different political perspectives and finding solutions to serious global issues. Outside of MUN I really enjoy listening to music, (espescially RnB and Afrobeats) I’ve recently gotten into climbing, and I’m also a big One Piece fan.

Deputy Chair: Jonathan Ochero
