PACMUN Hawaii is an inspirational and enjoyable conference and here are some comments from a few students who attended:
 
 Sienna Geissler-
 
“The PACMUN experience was unforgettable and a blast both in committee and out of it. The keynote speaker was exceptional. She truly inspired and empowered other women in the conference including me.
This conference has helped develop my MUN skills as a beginner and allowed me to gain confidence to speak in front of unfamiliar people about crucial challenges happening around the world.
In my committee (UNHCR), there was a mix of both general assembly and crisis. We developed resolution papers and quick problem solving strategies found in several world crises. I cherished how we were able to have fun while also speaking on matters of great importance. “
 
Sherlynn Fung-
 
“From discussing healthcare barriers to rapping Resolution Papers, PACMUN was not just a place where I had found my voice and wild ideas were shared - it was where a million possibilities stretched beyond imagination!”
Lidya Erel-
“I made so many new friends and met amazing people! I’m also definitely more confident in public speaking and look forward to future MUN conferences!”
Jasmine Luk-
“PACMUN was my first official conference — I met many new friends, and developed both my public speaking and leadership skills in my committee. It was a great and meaningful experience, and I definitely recommend grade 9s to join next year.”
 
Thank you to all MUN students for your wonderful dedication to research and your many efforts to join in and take a leadership role in the debate at both of these conferences.  Special thanks go to all my MUN leaders for your expertise and excellent role-modelling! You are the best!
