Head Chair
Celine Shih
Greetings, delegates! My name is Celine Shih, a senior at American School in Taichung. It is my utmost honor to serve as your head chair for GA6. STMUN XVI marks my 13th conference and 6th time chairing. My MUN journey started back in 8th grade. The unfamiliarity with new procedures and the dynamic of the debate room left me baffled. Simultaneously, this never-before experience also brought me new insights on the world of MUN. Through attending more conferences and understanding my role as a global citizen, I gained self-confidence, the courage to communicate well in front of others, and problem-solving abilities. On an unserious note, MUN could be a place to enjoy captivating debates and find strong-minded delegates with clear stances that bring life and much controversy to the committee. For me, MUN has also been a place where I formed many friendships with amazing and like-minded people. I hope as you embark on your journey of debate, each of you would be able to perceive MUN as something enjoyable as long as you take the time to understand the issues, contribute to discussions, and be active listeners and communicators during debates. As your head chair, I encourage new and returning delegates to set a goal for yourself during the conference, whether it’s asking a POI or submitting an amendment. Aside from MUN, I enjoy reading, writing, curating Spotify playlists, and singing my heart out to Taylor Swift songs. With that being said, I look forward to meeting all of you in December!
Co-Chair
Rhys Cheng
Hello, delegates! My name is Rhys Cheng, a junior at Taoyuan American School. I am honored to be your deputy chair for General Assembly 6. I have attended 9 conferences; this will be my 2nd STMUN conference that I have attended and this will be my third time chairing for a committee. I started joining MUN ever since middle school and I have been addicted to its complex and sophisticated style of debating. I personally think MUN has shaped me into being a more approachable and sociable person. Being in MUN has also taught me the importance of teamwork and how it’s needed in almost every aspect. Some advice I'd give to new delegates is to focus on being more confident and ignoring what others think of you. To the experienced delegates, keep up the good work! I'm here to do my best in supporting and advising each and every one of you during the conference. As your deputy chair, I just want to encourage both new members and those who've been here before to set some goals for yourselves during the conference, like asking a question or suggesting a change. Personally, MUN has been where I made lots of awesome friendships with people who share similar views. I hope all you delegates out there, as you dive into your debate journey, see MUN as something fun as long as you take the time to understand the issues, join in the talks, and just be good listeners and talkers during the debates. On a more casual note, MUN is a cool place where you can enjoy interesting debates and meet cool people with different opinions that help enhance the whole discussion. With everything said, I hope to see you all in December!
