CRISIS COMMITTEE
In 2038, years after a second American Civil War dissolved the United States, Ohio exists as a collection of rival city-states, with Cincinnati holding the most power. Tired of Cincinnati's grip on the state, Columbus declared war, conquering nearby towns, allying with Toledo, and launching air strikes on Dayton, Cincinnati's last stronghold.
This committee will explore whether Cincinnati should fight or seek peace, how to retake Dayton, which cities can be trusted as allies, and how to keep order within the city.
Hi delegates!
My name is Anushka Goel, and I am thrilled to be your crisis director for the Cincinnati vs. Columbus committee at our second ever WALMUN. I am currently a junior at Walnut, and have been a part of Model UN for around 3 years. Over my time in this club, I’ve gotten to be in a multitude of various committees and am excited to share my experience with all of you. Outside of Model UN, I participate in various clubs such as Speech & Debate and HOSA Medical Club, and I help design our newspaper The Chatterbox. I also swam club for ten years with the Cincinnati Marlins and the Mason Manta Rays and participate in a type of Indian classical dance called Kathak, which I’ve been doing for around nine years. I love performing at different multi-cultural events around the city and seeing the unique dances and eating foods of other cultures. Beyond school and extracurricular activities, I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, reading, and watching movies. Cincinnati vs. Columbus is a battle I am always passionate about, and I am so excited to turn this idea into reality for our committee. To ensure that this committee runs smoothly, please bring a strongly worded position paper and don’t be afraid to participate. Remember to think outside of the box to come up with crazy solutions and make sure to utilize your crisis notes. I am very excited to see how this committee plays out!
Sincerely, Anushka Goel
