Head Chair: Joshua Roh (TES)
Hello delegates!
I am Joshua Roh (he/him), a junior originally from Seoul, South Korea, studying at Taipei European School. It is my honour to serve as the Head Chair of the United Nations Development Programme alongside Julian.
One of the first conferences I attended was DISMUN II, and I think that was the point when I decided I would do this extracurricular activity for the rest of my high school career. It’s great to be able to return as a chair and pass this passion on: my third DISMUN marks my 20th conference and 9th experience chairing. I hope to bring my expertise to ensure that no delegate feels invisible or alienated — in other words, that all delegates are empowered to collaborate and contribute.
A bit more about me: outside of MUN, I'm involved in debate and student government, serving as my school's Deputy Head Student. In my spare time, I love to watch films, rewatch films, and practice Taekwondo.
I will work my utmost to make MUN as transformative and valuable as it has been for me. My inbox is always open, and messages are always welcomed at joshua.rohB2026@stu.tes.tp.edu.tw or @rohhyunj on Instagram. See you at the conference!
Co-chair: Julian Wang Chu (DIS)
Hi everyone!
My name is Julian Chu, a student at Dominican International School(DIS), and I am thrilled to serve as your co-chair for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) committee, along with Joshua. I have been part of the Model United Nations for a while now, and I enjoyed how MUN challenges us to leap out of our comfort zones. I remember the start of my own MUN journey, being a complete novice at my first conference. Now, it is my honor to guide you through your first conferences. I hope that this committee will give you a new opportunity to explore a wider perspective on global issues while developing skills that you will use for a lifetime. Apart from MUN, I enjoy hobbies like longboard dancing, acting, and scrolling through Instagram reels. Feel free to contact me through gmail(1800102@dishs.tp.edu.tw), or Instagram(julianchu0731). I look forward to meeting all of you and working together to make this conference a memorable experience for everyone!
