Model United Nations Club of DeBakey HSHP



From "el Presidente" Miguel Angel Ibarra

Hello DeBakers and Model UN delegates, let me introduce myself. My name is Miguel Ángel Ibarra Gómez but you are to call me "Master of Masters". I am the Secretary General of the Model United Nations Club of DeBakey (MUNC). I have been with the MUNC for three years and have won best delegation in 2004 for Cuba. I am the second Secretary General in the history of MUNC, and this year I plan to take over the world! (sort of) I have some ambitious plans for MUNC this year including competing in the Rice Model UN Conference and holding an International Picnic. My promise to you Model UN delegates is to make the Model UN Club better than it ever was with more conferences and more events! Check out my site for updates on MUNC and some helpful tips on how to debate and delegate. Come join the MUNC of DeBakey!
