Turk-hey delegates! My name is Ruby, and I’ll be your UNSC CD here at SBIMUN! I am a second year political science major from San Francisco, and while I love being a city girl, I have found such un-kurditional love for Santa Barbara. Some of my favorite things to do here are hanging out with friends, locking in at random places on campus, and exploring all the cafes in IV. We’re looking for diplomatic yet creative solutions to the issues at hand in Rojava, and hope delegates embrace their abs-kurdity in committee. Come up with solutions, and backroom, that are absolutely un-kurd of!Good luck: it’s a rojavalution!

Sammy is a second-year Financial Mathematics and Statistics major from Cupertino, California. He loves to go on hikes, climb rocks, and mourn his stolen mountain bike who has accompanied him on many joyous rides. He is also a massive Pokémon fan who has played most of the main series games since Generation 6 and currently frequents the top 500 leaderboard on Pokémon Showdown Generation 9 Random Battles. The only thing that trumps his love for Pokémon is his love for his Syrian culture and heritage, which is the reason he chose to chair this year’s UNSC as opposed to the Pokémon committee. Fascinated by Syria’s history of cultural diversity, Sammy chose to spotlight the Kurdish people for this UNSC in an attempt to highlight their frequently overlooked struggles and learn more about his country’s people. He hopes that this committee promotes coexistence between Middle Eastern ethnicities in a time of tension, hate, and war. Sammy hopes that delegates enjoy this committee as much as he did preparing it!
