Chair: Emelina Hakhnazaryan
Senior – Class of 2026
Dias: Elen Petrosyan & Nicole Tashjian
My name is Emelina Hakhnazaryan, and I’ll be your chair for this committee. I plan to major in biology and follow the pre-med route because I’ve always been interested in science and helping people in a real, hands-on way. This will be my fourth Model UN conference, and each one has taught me something new about speaking up, working with others, and thinking on my feet. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to raise your placard or jump into debate, but I also know how rewarding it feels when you finally do. As chair, I want this committee to be challenging but fair, where everyone feels comfortable participating, learning, and growing throughout the conference.
