buenos dias

Hi! My name is Chelsea and I am a junior at Cal studying Civil Engineering! I’m originally from Orange County (aka best place in the world) and I have been in MUN for 7 years now! At Cal, I am super busy (like seriously all the time) with BMUN, Engineers Without Borders (EWB), and my sorority. In my free time, I enjoy watching Grey’s Anatomy, taking long walks on the beach while contemplating the expansiveness of the universe, and drinking chai lattes (with soy milk and two shots of espresso, in case you want to bring me one ;) ). Also, I love all things to do with dogs (including petting dogs and doggo/pupper/woofer/floofer lingo) along with cats. I am so looking forward to conference, and I can’t wait to hear the excellent solutions that you come up with!!! Pls enjoy these various pics of me from all walks of life.

Indigenous Minorities

Hi All! I highly encourage you to read this (very short :)) article on how businesses affect indigenous minorities. http://unpo.org/article/20582 One key portion to the article that I would really like you all to focus your solutions and attentions to is in the fourth paragraph. Here, it highlights how although the production of soy in Brazil helped the nation's economy tremendously, it displaced 20,000 to 40,000 indigenous people in the process. With an article like this, I would like you all to spend a lot of time really really putting in time to think about what we as a committee can do to help protect these indigenous minorities while still allowing developing nations to flourish. Thus, please answer a couple of these following questions from your individual standpoint as a person! I'd love to hear what you all think! Why is it that 20,000 to 40,000 people were displaced, yet the population of Brazil had little to no knowledge of this happening? What are t...

Update on the Case Study of Australia’s Indigenous Population

Hello! Hope you guys are working hard on the position papers! Can’t wait to read over some of them. Today, we are going to further look into the case study of the aboriginals population in Australia. The article listed above lays out beautifully the “social gap” between the indigenous and Australian population. And the results are striking. Let’s take a look at these statistics with the lense of health, poverty, and education in to consideration (*look at the topic synopsis if confused). Poverty: We can consider poverty rates first, and what do we see? Compared to the 5.8% unemployment rate of the Australian population, that of the indigenous population quadruples at 20.8%. Education: Students attending school 90% of the time for the Australian population is 79.3%, while for the indigenous population it is 49%. Additionally, compared to the Australian population where 80% of the students have finished year 12, only 61% of students of indigenous backgrounds have done the same....

Delegate Tips for Success!

Hi Delegates! The conference is coming up soon! Can you believe that we only have 20 more days until BMUN 66! For some of you, it will be your first time coming to a MUN conference, for others it will be your 3rd or 4th time coming to BMUN. For me, this will be my 7th and last year of MUN (sad face) I remember for my first MUN conference, I represented Equatorial Guinea in the Security Council on the topic of blood diamond trafficking and the Kimberly Process. I blanked out, stuttered through my comments and questions and couldn't muster enough confidence to get on the podium and make my speech. 1. Rules of Procedure: Any MUN conference follows certain Rules of Procedure that describe how and when debate on the topic will happen. These Rules of Procedure are important to understand, as without them you will feel confused and lost. It is always a good idea to  read and understand the Rules of Procedure  before attending the conference, but do not be alarmed if...
