Secretary-General
Alex Lin
Greetings! Members of the Secretariat Team, Student Leaders, Student Officers, Delegates, Judges, Advocates, Admins, MUN club directors from all across Taiwan, and each and every participants, welcome to this years Southern Taiwan Model United Nations annual session.
I am Alex Lin, currently a sophomore at IIS, and I am honored to serve as the Secretary General of STMUN XVI. I am very pleased that all of you will be attending the conference at our school. I joined MUN in the sixth grade and have continued ever since due to my passion for the activity and the discussions on various issues. This year’s STMUN will be my 19th conference. My belief has always been to do my best to inspire others to develop a greater interest in MUN, so that everyone can enjoy the fun it offers. I can say with confidence that leading all of you to organize one of the largest conferences in Taiwan is a goal I have long dreamed of.
The essence of MUN is to awaken people's awareness of the suffering faced by our fellow human beings around the world through ‘modeling,’ or to encourage greater attention to all the issues in the world and even contribute our own strength. The power that drives the gears of world change ignites the flame of revolution in the hearts of everyone. STMUN aims to awaken students' focus on various issues. Over the two days of STMUN, I hope every participant can find that pursuit in their heart. Even if you don’t have it now, try to find it!
I hope that after these two days, your concern for these issues continues and that you are willing to dedicate yourselves to driving change. As Kwame Nkrumah once said, 'Revolutions are brought about by men, by men who think as men of action and act as men of thought.' Merely having a 'concern' in your heart will not lead to change; it is action that brings transformation.
Of course, I still hope everyone will have a valuable experience at STMUN, make new friends, stimulate your thinking, and become a better version of yourselves. I wish you all the best of luck!
Deputy Secretary-General
Albert Hsu
Honorable directors, hardworking student officers and leaders, distinguished delegates, and the most esteemed guests. Welcome to the best conference in Taiwan, STMUN XVI!
I am Albert Hsu, a rising sophomore at I-Shou International School (IIS), and it is my sincere honor to serve as your Deputy Secretary General for STMUN XVI this year.
I was introduced to MUN in 6th grade, where I instantly fell in love with the adrenaline filled debate, lively discussions, and inspiring ideas provided by my fellow delegates and chairs. MUN is not only a place for debate and discussions, but a lively greenhouse cultivating a plethora of future masterminds, building a better future one MUNer at a time. STMUN XVI will be my 18th conference to date, and my first time being a secretariat. They say the third times the charm, and STMUN XVI would be my third STMUN, and I sincerely hope it would be the most charming and remarkable conference ever. A quote I like very much is "The things you regret most in life are the things you didn't do," so be courageous and make that speech, propose that amendment, and voice out to achieve the greater good. I hope you can all enjoy STMUN as much as I did in previous conferences, and we strive to improve year after year. If you have any inquiries regarding the conference, feel free to contact me whenever, and I will help you to my fullest potential. Other than MUN, I also enjoy doing robotics, sciences, photography, sports, and listening to music. I look forward to seeing you all in December!

Deputy Secretary-General
Emily Lien
Honorable directors, fellow student officers and student leaders, distinguished delegates, diligent admins and press members, and the most esteemed guests,
Greetings! I am Emily Lien, a rising sophomore enrolled at I-Shou International School (IIS), and it is my utmost honor to be serving as your Deputy Secretary-General of STMUN XVI this year. Ever since I started my MUN journey in Grade 6, I soon fell in love with the intense debate, the excitement of seeing delegates raising their placards to defend their country stances, and to realize that MUN is also a platform to form friendships that will follow you for the rest of your school life. STMUN XVI will be my seventeenth conference and first time being a Secretariat. In the past three years, STMUN never failed to impress me. No matter if I’m participating as a delegate, admin, or student leader, STMUN always succeed in creating the best conference experience that I could ever hope for. I hope that STMUN XVI would be able to provide the same experience in your MUN journey, and become one of the most memorable conference where we all thrive to be a better global citizen. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding the conference, and I will do my best to help. Apart from MUN, I also enjoy reading, writing, collecting quotes, and doing random notes. I am looking forward to seeing you all in December!
Deputy Secretary-General
Shreshta
Distinguished delegates, honorable student officers, fellow admins and press members, and esteemed guests.
Welcome to STMUN! My name is Shreshta, and I am honored to serve as Deputy Secretary-General for STMUN XVI. I am a rising sophomore at I-Shou International School. Throughout my MUN journey, I have had the privilege of participating in numerous conferences, both as a delegate and in leadership roles, which has greatly enriched my understanding of global issues and diplomatic practices.
I believe MUN has the magical ability to bring together passionate people from different backgrounds who all share a common interest in global causes. Over the years, I have gained a broader view of the world and a deeper appreciation for the many voices that shape it, thanks to MUN. Outside of MUN, I am our school's student council co-president (STUCO). I also find excitement in exploring programming languages and occasionally working on software development projects. When I'm not in the digital world, you can find me at the skateboard park or reading historical fiction novels.
As we come together for this conference, I urge you to enter into each discussion with an open mind, a respectful attitude, and a commitment to finding collegial solutions for your issues. I look forward to seeing you in December!

Academic Advisor
Amber Li
Greetings! My name is Amber Li, currently a junior at I-Shou International School, and it is my utmost honour to serve as the Academic Director for STMUN XVI. My MUN journey started back in 8th grade, when I stepped into the conference room feeling scared and intimidated. However, I soon fell in love with intense debate and the way people interact with each other. With that, I started attending more conferences. To me, MUN is like a small community where people help each other become a better global citizen. Joining MUN helped me understand more about myself and developed my self awareness. Similarly, I would like to make every single delegate feel welcomed both in and out of the committee room. In the 21st century, it is quite important to develop a global perspective, as it allows us to get a broader view of what is going on at the moment. STMUN was my first ever official conference, and I hope to make this year's STMUN a memorable one. Apart from MUN, I enjoy playing the piano and the flute, reading, writing random stuff whenever I felt like it, listening to different types of pop songs and classical music, and more. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or just needed someone to talk to, see you in December!
