CSMUN XVII Secretariat

Hey everyone! My name is Kaitlyn Marks and I am honored to be the Secretary General of CSMUN XVII and Logistics. I have had the privilege to participate in CSMUN for all four years and even competed in our annual junior high simulation as an eighth grader. Through this club I have gained valuable friendships, a lifetime of memories, and skills that will allow me to thrive in all my future endeavors. Besides Model UN I am part of Sandburg’s Interact club, National Honors Society, and our math honors society, MU Alpha Theta. Additionally, I tutor in social studies as well as math. Outside of school I enjoy playing tennis, going on beach trips, spending time with loved ones, and shopping. I am beyond excited to see what this year has in store for CSMUN and am thrilled to be part of such an amazing secretariat board. Good luck and I hope to see you all in October!

What’s up everyone! My name is Brayden, and I’m pumped to be your Secretary General of Member Relations for CSMUN this year! This is my fourth year in Model UN, and I can’t believe how fast it’s gone. Outside of MUN, I am a very passionate cross country and track runner. Nothing beats the adrenaline of toeing the line on race day. I’m also involved in National Honor Society, National Athletic Honor Society, and ACES. When I’m not at school or competing, you’ll find me on the golf course, buying fresh fruits at the farmers market, or cooking burgers on my Blackstone. My biggest hope for everyone at CSMUN this year is simple: have fun and make memories. The resolution papers matter, but the people you meet and the moments you share are what you’ll actually remember. Come ready to work hard and enjoy every second of it. See you guys in October!
