Hello Everyone,

My name is Penn and I will be your chair for UN Committee for Science and Tech Development.

I have liked my model UN experience a lot. It is very interesting and one of the few opportunities for someone of my grade to get a good grasp of the political world. I have also been to the UCLA MUN event where I was a delight of Armenia and in class I have enjoyed doing research, participating in class discussions, and engaging in mock assemblies.

I look forward to seeing you all in Committee.

Best,

Penn Desser | Committee Chair, United Nations Committee for Science and Tech Development
