She also works on research related to space and defense policy, and she will talk about it for hours if you let her. Outside of conference planning, Isabel enjoys traveling with Emory’s Model UN team, updating her Goodreads profile, and general tomfoolery. Feel free to reach out to her with any questions at isabel.brandt@emory.edu. 

Corinne Phillips (she/her), a junior double majoring in International Studies and French, is thrilled to be the Director General of MUNE.

Besides her role on the MUNE secretariat, she also holds the position of Secretary General for ENMUNC, Emory's premier high school Model UN conference.

Brian (he/him) is a senior majoring in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology and minoring in Ethics on the pre-med track. Hailing from Northern Virginia, right outside of DC, he often likes saying that he is from the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) and confusing people who know the DMV as Department of Motor Vehicles. He cannot wait to serve as your Chief of Staff and believes his seven years of Model UN experience will serve him well.

Brian is also one of the current co-presidents of Emory International Relations Association, which houses anything Model UN, and a former head delegate for the travel team. Outside of Model UN, he researches Parkinson’s Disease on monkeys, lifts heavy things, and listens to unreleased music from his favorite artists.

Hi everyone! My name is Hilary Klein and I am so excited to be serving as your USG of Special Events at MUNE Xll! I am a junior here at Emory University double majoring in Economics and Political Science, and I am originally from Baltimore, MD. This past summer, I worked for Senator Ben Cardin in Washington, D.C. and hope to continue my career in politics post-grad. After being involved in Model UN in high school, I decided to check out what it was like at the collegiate level. It’s my second year participating in EIRA, and I have chaired both ENMUNC and MUNE in the past. This is also my first time serving on the Secretariat!
