Wuhan University brings wonders to PICMUN 2019

The word MUN stands for Model United Nations. An activity in which students typically role-play delegates and diplomats from the United Nations and simulate UN committees discussing global environmental, political, social, cultural and economic issues. In other words, this is not an ordinary academic event where you could get bored. MUN provides students a platform to substantially practice researching, public speaking, debating, and writing, as well as critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership abilities. And in case you’re wondering, PICMUN stands for Peking University Inter-Collegiate Model United Nations Conference.

Wuhan University Delegation to PICMUN 2019

In PICMUN 2019, Wuhan University had one of their most competent teams ever. They represented the school in almost all committees and departments of PICMUN 2019, from Dais (member of chairs and organizers) to delegates in 4 different committees. Our delegates: Arjun Jassal, Chen Tzu-Jung, Darya Vinogradov-Wouters, Lojain Altayeb, Matthew Emile Stewart, Nathan Leroy, Sebastian Tippelt and Zebo Kuldasheva put all their efforts and energy to representing our prestigious institution the best way possible.

The team, just like in the previous conferences, tried its utmost best. We did not only get the complete experience of PICMUN 2019 but also brought home trophies. In PICMUN 2019, the Wuhan University team showed a magnificent performance and for the first time, was awarded as the "Outstanding Delegation" among many other universities from all over China.
