Our Secretariat
Tibor Nagy
Secretary-General
My name is Tibor and I'm honored to be your Secretary-General for HenMUN XI! I'm a student of the Lerner College of Business at the University of Delaware and study Business Management and Management Information Systems. Although I'm pursuing a career that's not directly related to International Relations, the subject is one that's close to my heart. I've been involved in Model United Nations since High School, where I was one of the founding members of our Model UN team. When I arrived at the University of Delaware, I discovered HenMUN as a freshman and knew instantly that this was the club for me. I was a crisis director my first year, a chair my second, and was made Under-Secretary General of the Specialized Agencies's last spring. For the three-plus years that I've participated here, I've strived to create the best Model United Nations experience out there. Each committee at HenMUN provides both an educational and social experience. Here, delegates can hone their parli-pro and debate skills in realistic committees while enjoying a fun long weekend away from home. One of the most rewarding things about being a HenMUN volunteer is knowing that your work has encouraged many incoming freshmen to grow their skills further as fellow students here at the University of Delaware. I'm looking forward to HenMUN XI and can't wait to see you all soon!
