Welcome to the Specialized Agencies!
The Specialized Agencies are unique committees that combine the intricacy of the General Assemblies with the creativity and innovation of the Crisis Committees. Specialized Agencies will require delegates to be highly familiar with the substantive context of their topic while being prepared for dynamic changes in the situations at hand. These committees encourage an approach to topics from different perspectives, as well as a collaborative and creative take to developing a stable path for the future.
Dear Delegates,
It is with immense pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to the 41st annual Ivy League Model United Nations Conference! My name is Dexter Jandoc, and it is my privilege to serve as the Under-Secretary General of Specialized Committees. The Secretariat and I have invested significant time and effort to ensure that this conference is exceptional, and I am thrilled to witness the impactful debates and inventive resolutions that will emerge over the weekend.
A little about myself – I am a sophomore at the College of Arts and Sciences, majoring in Health and Societies, and I am from Queens, New York. Apart from my involvement in ILMUNC, I serve as a Project Leader for Consult for America, a Venture Lab Fellow, and a member of the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, watching movies, and hanging out with friends.
In the coming days, you will have the chance to engage in vigorous debate, collaborate with peers from various backgrounds, and devise innovative solutions to some of the most critical issues facing our world. Whether you are an experienced delegate or new to Model United Nations, I am confident that this experience will challenge you in unique ways and leave you with invaluable skills and lasting friendships.
As the Under-Secretary General of Specialized Committees, I am excited to oversee the diverse and engaging committees at this conference. These committees provide a special opportunity for delegates to delve into specific topics and areas of interest, offering a unique perspective and set of challenges that will test your abilities and allow for a more detailed examination of important global issues.
As you prepare for this exciting journey, I encourage you to approach the conference with an open mind and a commitment to excellence. Our world faces unprecedented challenges, and your distinctive perspectives and ideas are crucial in finding innovative solutions and charting a path toward a better future. I hope you all have fun as well! This conference is not only a chance to engage in meaningful debate and resolution but also to create memories that I hope you will treasure.
Once again, on behalf of the entire Secretariat, we are thrilled to have you at ILMUNC this year. It is the enthusiastic and engaged delegates like you that make ILMUNC one of the premier Model United Nations conferences in the country, and I look forward to celebrating all of your achievements this weekend.

DEAR DELEGATES,
I’m super excited to invite you all to the 41st annual Ivy League Model United Nations Conference! My name is Will Koo, and I’m honored to be serving as an Under-Secretary General of Specialized Committees. This year’s Secretariat and I have dedicated a ton of time and effort towards making this conference the absolute best it can be, and I can’t wait to witness all of the meaningful discussions and creative resolutions you all come up with this weekend.
A quick background on me - I’m originally from Saddle River, New Jersey, and am a junior at the University of Pennsylvania studying Philosophy, Politics, & Economics. Outside of ILMUNC, I’m involved with Penn Policy Consulting and the Wharton Asia Exchange. I’m also a huge soccer fan, and religiously watch the Premier League (if you run into me, feel free to hit me with your Top 4 Predictions)!
Over the next few days, you’ll have a unique opportunity to engage in spirited debate and collaborate with students from diverse backgrounds to develop unique solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues. Whether you’re a seasoned delegate or completely new to Model UN, I’m positive that this experience will be an unforgettable one, and will have you walking away with new memories and friendships that’ll last a lifetime.
As an Under-Secretary General of Specialized Committees, I’ll be responsible for overseeing all the interesting debates taking place in these smaller, more specific committees throughout the conference. These Specialized Committees were specifically designed to allow delegates to explore the depths of specific topics and areas of interest. I’m hoping that through our Specialized Committees, you all can dive deeper into broad topics, put your skills to the test, and adopt a more nuanced exploration of some of the world’s most critical issues.
As you prepare to embark on this journey over the next few days, just remember to approach this conference with an open mind and a commitment to excellence. Our world is facing a ton of problems, and the debate and resolutions you all develop during this conference could serve as a first step in the right direction. But above all else, make sure to have fun! ILMUNC is a special time not just because of your ideas, but because of who you are as people - make new friends, take on new mindsets, embark on new adventures, and make memories that you all can look back on and cherish… together.
Once again, on behalf of the entire Secretariat, we’re so excited for you to attend ILMUNC this year. Spirited and engaged delegates such as yourself make ILMUNC one of the premier Model United Nations conferences across the country, and I can’t wait to see and celebrate all that you accomplish this weekend.
All the best,
Will
