Ad Hoc of the Secretary-General

Advanced, Single Delegate

Shhhhh… The SADHOC topic will be revealed 30 minutes before debate begins.

Meet Your Dias

  • Hello Delegates!

    My name is Audrey Watson, and I will be one of your Chairs for this ADHOC committee! I am currently a Junior here at Cal and am studying Neuroscience (shoutout any STEM MUN kids- I see you!) I have been a part of UCBMUN for almost 2 years now, after joining in the spring of my freshman year. Joining Model UN was one of the best decisions that I made here in college and has led me to some of my best friends that I have ever met here in Berkeley, something I never expected when joining this club as a naive freshman. 

    Now, a little bit about me outside of this club! In my free time, I love to read books by Taylor Jenkins Reid and Fredrick Backman (if you haven’t read any of their books, you are truly missing out!). I also love portrait photography, so you can catch me around campus taking a lot of grad photos and headshots whenever I can. I am also an avid show re-watcher, and my favorite victims are: Gilmore Girls, Friends, 30 Rock, and Modern Family, so if you ever want to discuss any of these in detail, I am definitely your girl!  

    Although I have so much fun competing as a part of our travel MUN team, one of my favorite parts of UCBMUN is staffing our conferences, both at the collegiate level and at the high school level. In fact I love it so much that I am currently working alongside my lovely Director General, Cheyenne, as the Secretary General of our collegiate conference UCBMUN XXX! This is why I am so excited to be able to be a chair for this committee and see what you all do and what creative solutions you come up with to the unhinged problems that we throw your way!

    Last year, I was given the opportunity to co-chair a specialized committee about Taylor Swift's Presidential Campaign, which was so much fun to do, so I am incredibly excited to be back as a chair for this year's BearMUN! I have never gotten the chance to chair an ADHOC committee before, and I am truly looking forward to working with my wonderful co-chair Anna and our incredible CD Maanas to bring this committee to life, and I know that all of you are going to enjoy what we have in store for you! Prepare yourself!

    Warmest Regards,
    Audrey Watson, Chair

  • Dear Delegates,

    Welcome to BEARMUN XXV! My name is Anna Lieggi, and I have the absolute honor of serving as one of your Co-Chairs for this Special Ad-Hoc Committee (SADHOC) at this year’s conference. I’m thrilled to be chairing alongside Audrey, and we are so excited to lead this committee full of challenges, diplomacy, and surprises — everything SADHOC is known for.

    I’m currently a student at UC Berkeley, studying Political Science and Global Studies, with a focus on comparative politics and peace and conflict. Outside of MUN, I love exploring local cafés, reading books, and watching reality TV or RomComs. I’m also passionate about Armenian issues, international human rights, and research.

    I joined UCBMUN in my freshman fall and I am currently entering my last year at Berkeley and UCBMUN. Last year, I had the privilege of serving as the Secretary-General of BEARMUN XXIV, where I led our amazing team in organizing one of our largest high school conferences to date. Now, I have the privilege of watching Patrick and Amara take on the planning for this conference, and I am so excited to chair this committee in their BEARMUN 2025! Returning to staff SADHOC this year feels like a full-circle moment, and I’m so excited to take on a new leadership role from the committee side.

    SADHOC is one of BEARMUN’s most dynamic and unpredictable committees. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or stepping into crisis for the first time, I encourage you to lean into the uncertainty and trust your instincts; it’s going to be a wild ride.

    Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, or just to say hi. You can contact me at annalieggi@berkeley.edu. I’m always happy to chat!

    I can’t wait to meet you all in committee and see the chaos unfold.

    Warmly,
    Anna Lieggi, Chair
