Vice Chair Intro: Ryan Fiorito!

HELLO everyone!

Thank you for clicking on my post. My name is Ryan Fiorito, and I am so excited to be one of your vice chairs for what will easily be the best committee of BMUN 69. 

If you want to know a little about me, I am a junior here at Cal studying both political science and psychology. I have been doing Model United Nations for 7 (!!!!) years now, but chairing this committee will be my first ever crisis experience!

Apart from BMUN, I am in an international relations co-ed fraternity, and I'm really funny so I'm in some improv comedy groups as well (teehee). Some of my favorite things to do when I'm not studying or living in a pandemic include thrifting all around Berkeley, climbing hills and looking at the views, and binging television shows with my friends! Unfortunately in quarantine I can only really keep up the last one, but I am currently two seasons in to Killing Eve and would love other show recs to watch!

I can't wait to see what you have all prepared for committee, and I can't wait to see what we have in store for you! If there are any questions or concerns I can help address, feel free to email me at rfiorito@bmun.org. Can't wait to see you all soon!

[Please Read!] Clarifying Crisis Procedure + Tech Protocols

Hi everyone! We only have four more days until BMUN!!! Since BMUN is so close now, the chairs put together this mini-crisis rundown to help you all prepare for committee this upcoming weekend! Please read it in its entirety so that you are ready for committee. What is a "crisis committee"? Crisis committees are committees set in a certain time period, emulating different members of a small organization (ie. board of directors, senators, military members, etc). The main difference between a crisis committee and a general assembly committee is the pacing. In this committee, there will be about 20 delegates working to solve multiple "crises" that are brought up in relation to the topic, ranging from protecting refugees from an attack to responding to a drought that has left civilians without water. Instead of representing countries, each delegate plays a different character with a direct influence on the outcome of each event. When committee starts, unlike in general a...
