WELLONS Initative

Just like in a Crisis Committee, I have a crisis-arc planned for my run as Director of Campus Affairs. The largest part of this arc is outlined by the WELLONS Initiative, which you can find below.

W – WELCOMING the campus community to get involved in international relations through connecting different organizations across campus in debates, activities, and GBMs!

E – ENDORSEMENTS from many! I am incredibly passionate about our organizations goals, and I have been endorsed by a significant part of CIRA’s current executive team. Just this semester, I have worked directly with 41+ members of CIRA through CarolinaMUN, MoMUNtum, UNCMUNC, MUNCH, and more.

L – LASTING presence and events. CIRA is more than just Model UN, but let’s face it: it needs a stronger presence on campus. CIRA will hold CIRA specific events for the campus community each month to connect with fellow Tar Heels.

L – LIT events and socials! When we work hard as a team, we should celebrate the same way!!

O – OUTREACH to Tar Heels (and beyond!). So many people across Carolina’s beautiful campus care about global politics, but they haven’t found a meaningful outlet to contribute to the discussion. Advertising, tabling, communicating… these are all things you can expect to see from my office. Additionally, I plan to coordinate with External Affairs to ensure that some portion of these events and activities can be open to other local schools.

N – NECESSARY leader. It’s necessary for us to take this time to expand and grow CIRA itself — not just through its amazing branch organizations! CIRA has a vast history on our campus, and it can be strategically utilized to create forums for discussion, collaboration, and teamwork.

S – SMART choice for Campus Affairs. I bring a wealth of experience in bringing people together, from my time as an Eagle Scout, Model UN, Mock Trial (in high school) and more.
