Meet the SageMUN 2024 Secretariat

 

Secretary General

Akshay Seetharam

Akshay is a sophomore at Harvey Mudd College double majoring in Mathematical and Computational Biology and Music History and Theory. His first foray into Model United Nations was eight years ago in 6th grade (as Turkmenistan on the issue of statelessness) and he is now beginning his second year on the PCMUN team. He will gladly—though perhaps, too gladly—grant you a tirade against the Second Viennese School or the California Environmental Quality Act. Outside of MUN, he is a member of the Claremont Colleges’ best-in-California Quiz Bowl team and makes the crosswords for the student newspaper. This is his first year as SG, and he is excited to welcome all of you to Claremont this fall.

director general

Gabriel Dalton

Gabriel is a junior at Pomona College from Pasadena, California majoring in History and minoring in Mathematics. A transfer student from Pasadena City College, he only made his first plunge into Model U.N. in his sophomore year of college, but he has nonetheless rapidly developed a passion for the activity. Also a member of the Claremont Colleges’ Debate Union and the Pomona Student Union, you can often find him in the library bashing away at his laptop while listening to everything from Metallica, to Coltrane, to Janelle Monae.

under-secretary general for general assemblies

Carlineissa Jean Francois

Carlineissa is a sophomore double-majoring in International Relations and Economics, originally from Miami, Florida. She is passionate about exploring global issues, which she does both through my studies and by traveling whenever she can. She’s been involved in Model United Nations since her second year of high school and she’s now part of Pomona’s team. Outside of MUN, she teaches a foreign language, works as a campus tour guide, and, when she has a free moment, you’ll probably find her with a book, always looking to discover new perspectives.

 

under-secretary general for Special assemblies

Marilyne Makendi

Marilyne is a junior studying Sociology and Economics at Pomona College. This year marks her first in Model UN, a feat she is very excited about. As much as she loves MUN, her passions extend to all things dance and events planning at Pomona. She adores reading and writing as well! She is very excited for you to be welcoming you all to Pomona this December!

 

under-secretary general for logistics

Katie Fullerton

Katie, a freshman at Scripps College, is a tentative double major in English and History. Having participated in only two high school MUN conferences, and regretting not getting involved sooner, Katie is at the very beginning of her MUN career and is so thrilled to join the PCMUN team. Outside of cosplaying diplomats for countries she has yet to visit, she loves to read, write, play the piano, and run. Katie is so excited to help out with SageMUN and can’t wait for the conference.

 

under-secretary general for social media & outreach

Daniel Choi

Daniel is a freshman at Pomona College majoring in Economics and serves as the Associated Students of Pomona College Senate Secretary. He also actively participates in the Claremont McKenna Army ROTC program while working as an Office Assistant at the Quantitative Skills Center. This is his first time competing in College MUN and loves to improv on the spot. You’ll often find him in a nearby cafe playing chess or locking in.
