Hey, Delegates!

I’m Aurora Liu, a senior at Dominican International School. It is my utmost honor to be serving as your President for the Security Council! This will be my 16th conference and I still enjoy debating just as much as I did at my very first one.

Outside of MUN, I enjoy spending time with friends, exploring new places to eat, and occasionally binge-watching shows when I need a break from school (Ex: Friends, Suits, and GOT). I also love listening to music (literally all kinds) and going on late-night walks to clear my head after busy days.

If you think MUN is about making friends and socializing during lunchtime, you’re not wrong. It’s just that there is so much more to it. Getting to know new people has always been, and will continue to be, one of my greatest motivations. However, what truly made me fall in love with this activity were the innovative resolutions, creative speeches, and unexpected humorous comments made by random delegates. As your President, I hope to give you the opportunity to experience all of these things.

I can’t wait to see all the incredible ideas and perspectives you’ll bring to our Security Council! I’m sure each and every one of you will make incredible memories here. Whether this is your first conference or one of many, I hope you’ll feel encouraged to speak up, challenge yourself, and truly have fun. I look forward to seeing you all!

My Name is Nero Ho. I'm currently a sophomore studying at American School in Taichung. It is my profound honor to serve as the deputy chair for this year's Security Council. I would be focusing on issue 102 The issue of Internal Stability and Democratic Governance in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Hsinmun XXII would mark my 14th conference and I can truly say that it has been a huge part of my academic career.

I can still vividly remember my first ever conference when I stepped onto the podium and gave out my speech the feelings of my leg shaking and barely able to say "Honorable Chair, Fellow Delegates, and Most Esteemed Guest". So for those who are attending Hsinmun XXII whether as a newbie or experienced delegate I truly hope that you would step out of your comfort zone and engage in the debate.

Outside of the committee room I love going to find new thrift shops or watching mockumentary shows like Abbot Elementary or Modern Family. Lastly, please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions(29neroh@ast.tc.edu.tw) and I can't wait to meet you all in October !!
