As an interim-training officer, I was told that COVID brought our society to its knees. Though a shadow of its former self, all I see here is opportunity. The opportunity to rebuild better than before.

We hold the power to shape UCLUNA's future, starting with our vote.

In my 6 years of MUN, I've had the privilege to attend dozens of conferences as a delegate, chair and secretariat. I saw schools that would do anything in an attempt to sweep awards and schools that were just there for vacation. While admirable, that level of blinded competitiveness or apathy always felt wrong.

I don't want our society to be a toxically competitive cesspool of narcissists, nor the jokesters of MUN. Instead, I want us to be R.A.U.R.

My duty to you is to make UCLUNA: Respected, Admired, United and Resolute (RAUR).

I want others to respect our dedication to MUN as seen through our training and in turn performance in committees. I want us to win awards through lifting others up not pushing others down. We are diplomats, not savages.

I want delegations to admire our society, something that should be a source of pride for all of us.

To do this, we must be united as a society, and recognize that our strengths are each other.

Finally, we must be resolute and determined to become the change and success that we know we can be.

Being a training officer should never be seen as a position of power. It is instead a position of service. I will work tirelessly to ensure that together we can R.A.U.R.
