Historical Crisis
Issue 501: Ascension of Elector Frederick V to the Bohemian Crown (Thirty Years War)
President: Sarina Tsai (AAIA)
Greetings, delegates!
My name is Sarina Tsai (she/her), a junior at Asia American International Academy, and it is with great pleasure that I serve as your President in the Crisis committee. DISMUN VII will be my eighteenth conference and seventh time chairing. I began my MUN journey in 7th grade, starting out as a baffled student who was intimidated by the powerful speakers in my committee. Fortunately, with the help of my chairs and fellow peers, I overcame the obstacles I faced, ending my first conference with a newly-founded eagerness to continue my MUN journey. I encouraged myself to speak more with each passing conference and soon began to enjoy the intense crossfires, forming alliances with delegations and bringing about a sense of unity. I have since expanded my knowledge regarding global issues, founded a love for public speaking, and created several long-lasting friendships. Aside from MUN, I enjoy singing, dancing, and reading dystopian fantasy. MUN has fueled my passion for debate and left a profound impact on my life, and I hope to spread my love for MUN to you all. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I’ll see you at DISMUN VII!
Deputy President: Lillian Liao (DIS)
Dear delegates,
I am Lillian Liao, a sophomore at Dominican International School Taipei (DIS), and I am both honored and excited to serve as your Crisis Deputy President alongside with Sarina. I still remember the first time I attended a MUN conference; procedure and terms felt foreign to me, and I even tried to submit an amendment on a pre-ambulatory clause. With the guidance of my chairs and other delegates, I gradually improved and became more and more versed in both debating and procedure. Although DISMUN VII will be my first time chairing, I hope I can encourage you to step outside of your comfort zones and actively engage in debate. In my free time, I like to watch sit-com TV shows, go on shopping sprees, and make endless Spotify playlists. Remember that MUN is not only a platform for debate and discussion of global affairs, but also a forum to make friends and interact with new people. I look forward to seeing all of you guys in February, and if you have any questions, feel free to email me at 1800143@dishs.tp.edu.tw or text me on Instagram at @lz.yll 😊.
