Mr. Nickolas Harris
GECMUN Director and Founder

I teach economics, debate, psychology, and AP Capstone: Research at Korea International School Jeju, and have been on the island for the past five years. Previous to South Korea, I taught history and coached MUN at Bahrain and Honduras. I love soccer, history, and MUN. I have been involved with GECMUN since its inception in 2015. The conference is delegate-centered and is focused on providing attendees with an entertaining and educational experience. The small committee sizes provide ease when it comes to delegates having to contact chairs, and vice-versa. The chairs do not look at the conference as a resume padder but are truly invested in providing delegates with the best experience possible, and I firmly believe our format of having adults selecting the chairs instead of having high school students select their friends is a superior system to many of the MUN conferences in the Korean circuit, which is often riddled with nepotism and favoritism due to a lack of adult supervision. We pride our conference to be constantly breaking new barriers. GECMUN was the first major conference to implement UNA-USA style of debate as well as implement crisis committees. We are an ambitious conference, constantly trying out new committees, and continually expanding in size. I look forward to seeing the conference continue to expand in both quality and quantity. We look forward in 2020 to introduce the first JCC committee in the history of MUN in South Korea through our JCC 1962 committee.

Mr. Eric Kwon
Business Coordinator

I have been working at KIS for the last three years as part of the business staff. This is the third GECMUN, which I am serving as the Business Coordinator. I was involved in debate and MUN when I was in college and was fortunate to be part of the MEC (Model European Council) as a delegate when I was in college. I hope that everyone who will come to Jeju for GECMUN V will have a memorable experience, not only full of educational opportunity but one in which they can meet new people and develop new friendships. I look forward to seeing you all in spring.
