Hi Delegates! I’m Ray — as you just read — a Senior that’s been participating in Parker’s Model UN program for seven years, including serving as a captain for our middle school program last year and high school this year. I’ve attended numerous MUN conferences worldwide and throughout Chicago so I’m super excited that we’re bringing back FWPMUN. On January 27th, you’ll be able to find me chairing Queen Elizabeth I’s Privy Council with Jack and complaining about how Model UN conference attire does not entail striped t-shirts. Aside from Model UN, I’m a sports fan, avid skier, and chatterbox so feel free to email me if you feel like discussing how my Giants are going to win the Super Bowl, want to know about my favorite back bowls at Vail, with any questions about Queen Elizabeth or anything in between.

Hi delegates! My name is Lindsay Carlin and I’m a Sophomore at Francis W. Parker. I’ve been involved in Model UN since I was in 6th grade, and aside from chairing the Commission on Narcotic Drugs at FWPMUN I am lucky enough to be serving as one of four captains on Parker’s Model UN team. I’ve competed in conferences from Walter Payton to Edinburgh, Scotland, and I could not be more excited to moderate what will hopefully be a day of lively banter. Aside from Model UN, I write for The Parker Weekly, am involved in Student Government, and play soccer and tennis.
