Maggie Guo
Introduction
Greetings delegates! My name is Maggie Guo, and it is an honor to serve as the President of UNEP for the 10th iteration of the Xiamen International School’s Model United Nations Conference. I do not consider myself someone who enjoys expressing my thoughts in front of a large audience, but after hearing about MUN conferences from my peers, I found an opportunity to improve my public speaking skills and critical view on global issues. Recalling my experience from the previous conference, I found it an empowering environment to engage in meaningful dialogues and discover approaches to complex issues facing the global community. Whether you’re a seasoned MUN delegate or new to the experience, I encourage you to bring your passion and creativity, and embrace the spirit of international cooperation. I look forward to meeting each and every one of you and witnessing the incredible impact you will make!
Deputy President
