MUNI XXVII Secretariat
Nafisa Khan
Secretary-General
LAS '26
| Political science
Hi everyone! My name is Nafisa Khan, and I'm currently a junior in the Political Science
Honors program, graduating from the College of LAS in May 2026! At Illinois Model United
Nations, I serve as organization president and have the privilege of working with all
the dedicated general body members that have made this conference possible.
This year I am honored to be serving as your Secretary-General for MUNI XXVII, alongside
orchestrating some surprises for our very first Ad-Hoc Committee of the
Secretary-General!
Two years ago, I staffed MUNI XXV's UN Development Programme, worked as Crisis Director
for Harry Potter: Death Eaters Convene at MUNI XXVI last year, and had the amazing
experience of designing merchandise as the previous USG of Design. Across this multitude
of experiences, I've learned so much about the attention to detail, compassion, and
determination it takes to successfully run our conference year after year. I promise you
all that we have worked tirelessly to deliver a conference rich with immersive and
exciting themes that span every experience level and committee type!
Outside of MUN, I love baking, making coffee, and taking long walks around campus. I'm
also involved in Kappa Alpha Pi, UIUC's premier pre-law professional fraternity, and the
Environmental Leadership Program! If you have any questions or concerns regarding MUNI
XXVII (or want to hear me talk endlessly about my Shiba Inu, who is the cutest puppy in
the whole world) feel free to reach out at secgen@illinoismun.org! Here's to an amazing
conference this April!

Hello everyone! My name is Josephine Lee. I am currently a junior majoring in Computer
Science + Economics and double-majoring in Political Science. I have been involved with
Illinois MUN for the past 2 years, serving as the Chair of US Senate (GA committee) in
Spring 2024/MUNI XXVI, and the Fundraising Committee Chair of the club during the
2024-2025 academic year.
Outside of MUN, I served as the co-lead of ACM SIGCHI (Human-Computer Interaction). I
enjoy designing user interfaces (UI) and conducting user experience (UX) research. In my
free time, I enjoy cooking and exploring new restaurants. Meal prepping and enjoying
delicious food (and sleeping!) are my favorite ways to relax and relieve stress. I hope
you all have a wonderful time and memorable experience at MUNI XXVII this year!

Hi, my name is Sohail Sajdeh and I am a first-year majoring in Economics! While this is
my first year involved with Illinois MUN, I have spent over 5 years competing in the
high-school MUN scene. I have travelled to some of the nation's top high-school
conferences, winning awards at Georgetown, Northwestern and Yale, gaining lots of
experience and knowledge about the activity to run a successful conference. Alongside my
role as USG of Registration, I am also the director for UNESCO, one of our large General
Assembly Committees.
Outside of MUN, I am part of Illinois' American Marketing Association branch, working in
the Consulting Committee to help local businesses with pro-bono consulting services.
Off-campus, I also coach soccer at local youth club, Illinois FC, as the assistant coach
of the U-18 Boys Team for this upcoming spring season. In my free time, I enjoy playing
and watching sports with my friends, and trying out new food spots on campus. I look
forward to seeing and meeting so many of you in Champaign this April!

Outside of MUN, you would probably find me at the badminton court, singing, volunteering
