Hey everyone!

 

My name is Keira Du, a sophomore at TAS, and I will have the honor of serving as your Head Chair for GA1. My MUN journey began in 7th grade as a nervous delegate who had no experience with international relations but a small habit of discussing politics. I found myself at a real conference after being forced to do MUN by her parents because I had refused to do debate. I never imagined that one conference would ignite my passion for understanding real world issues and inspire me to become actively engaged in speaking out about political issues. After 7 conferences and 2 chairing opportunities, I have come a long way in shaping my own perspective of how I look at the world. 

 

Aside from MUN, I like dancing and playing tennis. Although I am an introvert, I really do like meeting new people and push myself to actively engage in different communities. I am also a student government member of my school where I try my best to bridge the gap between student and admin. I also enjoy humanity subjects at school a lot more than other subjects, which I guess goes along with how I enjoy MUN. 

 

When we see each other in March, I strongly encourage you to push yourself out of your comfort zone more than you normally would. It is not everyday that you get the opportunity to be at a great conference with likeminded individuals who want to debate pressing world topics. Make sure you actively participate, ask questions, and most importantly, make new connections with people with similar interests. At the end of the day, we are all here because we have some interest in global politics. As your chair, I have the responsibility to guide and hopefully inspire you. I promise to encourage and make our committee a safe space to grow. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me through my email 28keirad@students.tas.tw. 

 

Can’t wait to meet you guys!
