Meet the Secretariat

Jennie Tan - Secretary General

Hello everyone,

My name is Jennie Tan, and I am deeply honoured to serve as the Secretary-General for this year’s DISMUN.

My journey with MUN began at the start of middle school, and since then, it has grown into something far greater than I ever expected. MUN has been a space where I’ve learned to speak with purpose, collaborate with empathy, and view global issues with a deeper sense of awareness. More importantly, it’s given me a team of passionate, driven individuals — and I’m proud to now help lead one of our very own.

This year marks the long-anticipated return of an internal MUN conference at Dulwich, and it’s a milestone we’ve all been waiting for.

Whether you're stepping into committee for the first time or returning as an experienced delegate, DISMUN is an opportunity to challenge ideas, sharpen your skills, and ponder various international issues that are present in our time - I’ve had the privilege of attending nine conferences, each one shaping my growth as a delegate, chair, and a member of the Secretariat during my MUN journey.

I cannot wait to see the energy and insight each of you will bring to this conference. I hope you’ll find DISMUN to be an inspiring and memorable experience.

Looking forward to seeing you in September!

Chandana Jelli - Deputy Secretary General

Greetings delegates!

My name is Chandana, a year 11 student, and I’m honoured to serve as your Deputy Secretary General for DISMUN.

When I first joined MUN in year 9, I was hesitant to say the least. It was my sister who convinced me to try it. But what was just another extracurricular activity, quickly turned into a passion that I’ve been deeply invested in. Attending four conferences, winning awards, and now serving as your deputy secretary general, has helped shape who I am. MUN has taught me irreplaceable skills in diplomacy, public speaking and critical thinking, while introducing me to new people and perspective that I wouldn’t have met otherwise.

DISMUN is an opportunity for everyone to grow, whether you’re a first time delegate, who’s too afraid to go and make a speech or if you’re an experienced veteran who’s looking to establish their ground, DISMUN offers something for everyone, the last minute resolution drafting, the committee debates, and the problem solving required will push all the delegates in the best possible way.

To all delegates, chairs and secretariats, thank you for helping put this conference together, and I hope you’ll find DISMUN to be an unforgettable experience for all.

See you in September!

Arnav Chhaparwal - Deputy Secretary General

Greetings, delegates!

My name is Arnav Chhaparwal, a Year 11 student at DCSPD, and I am honoured to serve as the Deputy Secretary-General for this year’s DISMUN.

My MUN journey began in Year 7 when I participated in my school’s conference for the first time. Since then, I’ve attended six conferences across multiple countries. This year marks the long-anticipated return of an internal MUN conference at Dulwich. I’m especially excited as DISMUN will be my seventh conference and my first time chairing!

Each conference I've been to has given me valuable memories and shaped who I am today. In my eyes, MUN is a unique activity that brings together students of all experience levels to collaborate and discuss pressing global issues. To me, MUN offers all delegates a chance to grow, whether it be through expressing their personal views, listening to others, or simply stepping out of their comfort zone.

To all delegates, chairs, and secretariat members, thank you for all the efforts and passion that have gone into making this conference special. Hopefully, this year's DISMUN can be a memorable and unforgettable experience in all our MUN careers - see you all in September!

Runbo Wang - Conference Secretary

Greetings, distinguished delegates,

My name is Runbo Wang, and I am currently a Year 10 student at Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong.

I have had the privilege of participating in eight conferences as a delegate and chairing two conferences.

Model United Nations has been an extremely significant part of my academic journey as I always found debating with others and formulating strategies interesting and MUN has provided me with many opportunities for engaging in discussions and developing a deeper understanding of global affairs.

I hope you experience the same joy as I did. It is through each and every conference, and by meeting talented and skilled individuals and peers from different schools and places along the way, that I have grown as a delegate.

For this year’s DISMUN 2025, I am honored to serve as part of the Secretariat team. While I may not hold the role of chair, I am excited to support the smooth running of the conference and ensure that delegates have the best possible experience.

Wishing you all the best in your preparations, and I look forward to meeting you in September.
