Student Officers

Mick van der Valk
Hello my dear delegates! My name is Mick van der Valk, and I will be the Chair of the First Committee, as well as one of your Presidents of the General Assembly. I am currently 16 years of age, and I attend the Gymnasium Haganum in The Hague. This MUN will be my... well, I have lost exact count, but somewhere around my 20^th. As a Student Officer, about the 12^th or 13^th time. I even had the honour to serve as one of the Student Officers at the previous session of THIMUN! A marvellous experience indeed. Furthermore, I am the Secretary-General of HagaMUN 2010 (which is, incidentally, held the 5^th, 6^th and 7^th of March in the Peace Palace in The Hague), and in my spare time I enjoy surfing, playing tennis, and listening to almost all forms of jazz. That is, briefly, my MUN resume. Oh, parenthetically, I will be in my fifth year of high school during LMUNA.
A seat in the Disarmament and International Security Committee is always a guarantee for good fun, so I am sure we will have a good time at LMUNA!
