Sara Teran

Hi! My name is Sara, I am one of the vice chairs of UNCSW I am very excited to be part of this committee with all of you. I am a first-year at Berkeley studying Global Studies and Conservation and Resource Studies, I am deeply passionate about diplomacy, social justice, human rights but also the environment! In my free time, I love doing any outdoor activity, especially running, hiking, and swimming, I also play different instruments and love to play around and learn new songs. My favorite place in Berkeley is Campanile Street, if it´s sunset time and it's a clear day you can the Golden Bridge perfectly. Don't be afraid to talk to me about anything, I have many interests and I would love to learn yours as well. I hope you enjoy BMUN72 and have the best time with us.

Introduction - Kamilah Elmarsafawi

  My name is Kamilah Elmarsafawi, and I am a staff member for the Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW). I am a freshman and first year for the BMUN class of 72, I use she/her pronouns. I am an intended philosophy major, and along with BMUN I am volunteering for Berkeley’s Queer Alliance and Resource Center (QARC), and a part of Cal YDSA (democratic socialist association). A fun fact about me is that roughly 25% of my current possessions were obtained randomly — found on the street, “borrowed” from friends, or picked up from walking down Sproul. I look forward to meeting everyone at BMUN!! Feel free to reach out, I am down to discuss all things philosophy, gender, sexuality, and just love getting to know people!

For example, for topic B, you could just work on the aftermath of domestic violence by providing mental health services for survivors. You could also, just try one solution to solve problem. For example, in topic A you could attempt a top down approach and encourage governments to have their official language organizations add gender inclusive language.  Another tip that we love talking about at BMUN is using the S.M.A.R.T. solution method as a way for you to check how actionable your solution is. S.M.A.R.T. stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely, so after creating your solution, you can ask, "Is this ...

Last minute updates for conference! (**the crowd goes wild**)

 Hello Everyone! Welcome back to the BMUN blog. Conference is in less than a week, and I am bouncing off the walls with excitement! We have read and graded your position papers, and I am looking forward to seeing you debate all of your ideas. We did have some technical difficulties with Huxley, so if your grade was changing around Sunday and Monday that is why. I will say that all of the grades are now finalized, and if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to join our office hours today and tomorrow from 4-5PM ( here is the wejoin ). You can also send us an email if you have any last minute questions or just ask us at conference. Thanks for keeping up with all of the emails, blog posts, work, and chaos. I can't wait to meet you in person on Friday (which is coincidentally national women's day!!) The prefix to your suffix, Roxie Baggott,  UNCSW 72 Head Chair
