Meet the Secretariat
Secretary-General
Joseph O'Shea |
Hello all, My name is Joseph O'Shea, but you can call me Joe! I will be serving as your Secretary General for the 8th annual edition of Reading University’s International Model United Nations Conference, ReadiMUN 2019.
At the time of ReadiMUN 2019 I will be undergoing my second year of a BA History and Politics degree here at the University of Reading. With regards to current international relations, I am fascinated with NATO and its affiliated nations outside the organisation's response and interaction with China, North Korea and Russia Throughout my first year at this university, I have come to call Reading home; it is a very welcoming and pleasant place to study, work, and stay, and I hope that during your visit you'll enjoy the town just as I have come to. Last year was my first year taking part in MUN, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. The highlight of the year must have been the conference right here in Reading! It was great fun: the historical crisis was intense and forced me into thinking in-depth strategy. I hope you enjoy ReadiMUN 2019 as much as I enjoyed ReadiMUN 2018. I look forward to seeing each and everyone of you there! |

Undersecretary for Social Events
Ryan Hack |
Hi! My name is Ryan Hack and I am an ideosyncratic British chap. I am extremely motivated and hardworking History and Politics student at the University of Reading.
I am outgoing, friendly and approachable with strong communication skills. Passionate about entering the realm of Politics and elephant conservation. This is a current crisis that is posing a risk to the population of elephants in the wild, which could potentially lead to their extinction. It is evident that over 20,000 African elephants are killed by poachers for their ivory each year. I joined MUN to come up with and debate ideas that can help fight this urgent cause. I look forward to making ReadiMUN 2019 a success and seeing delegates enjoy the social events we have in store. |
