Welcome to the Model United Nations team at UC Davis. I am Hank Nguyen, your Secretary General of MUNUCD. I am very glad that you have shown interest in joining our club team. With cooperation and collaboration, our team will be more successful this year than ever before.
MUNUCD has a history of excellence and distinction. As an international traveling team, we are known as one of the best MUN programs in the State of California. We have won numerous delegation awards, as well as countless delegate awards. We also host one of the fastest growing and highly respected high school conferences on the West Coast.
We regard our team as a family where friendship and fun are as important as the work that we put in to being a member. Along with trainings and conferences, we have a variety of social events every quarter including the Fall Barbecue, numerous team dinners, movie nights, trivia, and a formal banquet at the end of the year. MUNUCD is definitely a mix of work and play.
One of my favorite aspects of this club is that it has neither membership requirements nor a selection process. If you have done MUN for years and years, or if you never heard of MUN before this year, you membership status will be unaffected. All we require is an interest in international affairs and a love of debating and camaraderie.
The goal of MUNUCD is to create well informed and educated delegates, as well as to foster an atmosphere where friendships and fun are the most important parts.
I feel that the experience you gain and the friendships you make are more important than any trophy or award that you win while with our team. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact me. I am here to listen to you, and incorporate your ideas to make this club the best that it can be for everyone.
