Dear HIMUN IX delegates,

My name is Mischa Chou, a senior from Asia American International Academy, and I am so excited to serve as your President of the Human Rights Council!

I started my MUN journey in seventh grade when one of my teachers encouraged me to attend STMUN in 2019. While I was well prepared with both my opening speeches and resolutions, the thing that I was not prepared for was the amount of impromptu speeches that I had to make. I remember dreading being called up for speeches and hoping that nobody had any POIs for me. Since then, I have enjoyed debating much more and have made so many new friends.

HIMUN 2025 marks my twenty third conference and it is my honor to spend it with you guys. Throughout my MUN journey, one thing I have learned is to not be afraid to message your chairs if you have any questions about the chair report or your stance. And with that, you can reach me at mischa.chou.25011@aaia.ntpc.edu.tw or on Instagram @mim1.cc. If you have any questions, remember, my DMs are always open. See you guys in March!!

Hello delegates!

My name is Marcella Wu, and I’m a sophomore at Hsinchu County American School. I’m so excited to serve as your HRC Deputy President at the upcoming HIMUN conference. This will mark my 12th MUN conference. I first joined MUN in 8th grade after lots of encouragement from my friends.

Over the years, it’s become a huge part of my life. MUN has taught me so much about confidence and global issues. I still remember how nervous I was as a newcomer, struggling to even ask POIs, so I totally understand the challenges new delegates face. But I believe that through inspiring debates and exploring global issues, we can all grow and learn together. Outside of MUN, I enjoy baking, going to concerts, and playing basketball. If you have any questions or need help during the conference, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Let’s make HIMUN IX an unforgettable experience! See you soon!
