Hello and Happy New Year!

Hello! My name is Danielle Tyukody and I am a freshman at UC Berkeley. I am a Political Science major, with a specialization in American Politics, and an Education minor. My hometown is Manhattan Beach, California --a beach town near LA. My passions include rock climbing, horseback riding, and binge-watching. I am a member of the Cal Climbing Team, and have enjoyed rock climbing and competing in Berkeley. I have also successfully started and caught up with all of Brooklyn 99, Rick and Morty, and Black Mirror (we live in a golden age of television).


I have been participating in Model UN since my freshman year of high school, and the program has had a major impact on my life. BMUN caught my eye when I came to Cal because I knew the group would be a close-knit, intelligent, and hilarious family. In reality, BMUN is all that and more.

In committee, I encourage you all to focus on the experience of debate and participate to the best of your ability, because your years participating in Model UN will go by before you know it. Best of luck to you all!

New ICO by Venezuela?

Hi delegates! We're less than a week away from BMUN and we're so excited to meet all of you soon! This article came out in the Washington Post a few days ago regarding Venezuela's attempt at fighting its inflation by launching its own cryptocurrency (what a great amalgamation of both our case studies!) So far, Venezuela has been able to raise almost $1 billion but what are your opinions on this "Petro" coin? Article: " Venezuela launches the ‘petro,’ its cryptocurrency" by Rachelle Krygier See y'all soon! Sherry

Topic 1 Article: Long-Term Effect of Refugee Employment Bans

Hello delegates! The Immigration Policy Lab at Stanford and ETH Zürich released a paper in November of last year around the long-term effect of refugee employment bans. The link to download the paper can be found at https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/working-papers/long-term-impact-employment-bans-economic-integration-refugees . Although it seems lengthy, I’d like to direct you to the Introduction (pages 3-5) and Discussion (pages 11-12) sections as likely the most valuable for your purposes – the rest of the paper largely concerns a case study on Yugoslav refugees who arrived in Germany in 1999 and 2000 which may be enlightening but mostly concern details about the study and how it was conducted.  See you all at conference next week!
