Letters from Secretaries General

Dear faculty advisors and fellow delegates

It is my great honor to welcome you to Carmelita's Model United Nations, CarMUN 2026. In this 14th edition of CarMUN, we open our doors hoping that every single one of you feels welcome and confident in a space where you will be able to develop abilities, learn from others and excel at important skills that will eventually help all of you become the leaders of the future. With diplomacy, leadership, debate and respect I am eagerly waiting to see you enjoy and make the most out of this conference.

My name is Isabella Marchini, and this year I am proud to be the Secretary General alongside one of my best friends Alessio Negrón. I started MUN in 2024. At first, I thought that I would only be at two or three trainings and then decide it was not for me, little did I know that I could not have been more wrong. MUN not only became a space where I could be with my friends and meet new people, it evolved into a setting where I could learn new things, exploit what I was good at, and be recognized by people who truly celebrated my accomplishments. I remember my parents and teachers telling me that MUN would change my life and the way I saw it, now I am one hundred percent sure they were right.

As of my personal experience, in 2025, I had the privilege to attend Harvard MUN with an incredible delegation, this intellectual endeavor only motivated me to keep working hard. Beyond that, I am deeply grateful for every conference I have had the privilege of attending, for each one has left me not only a more accomplished delegate, but a more resilient person.

I am fully aware that I did not come this far on my journey alone, that is why I would like to thank all of my present and past faculty advisors and my incredible secretariat. I am extremely lucky to have these wholesome people work with me, help me throughout the way and help shape me into the delegate and person I am now. Even though some of them might be in different paths at the moment, their impact will prevail in me and in the conference for a long time. I am forever grateful with every single one of them for that reason.

I wholeheartedly thank every single one of you for accepting the opportunity to attend this year’s conference, and I hope with all sincerity and enthusiasm that you will enjoy it just as much as I enjoyed planning it throughout the months. To be this year’s Secretary General and to leave a legacy in my school has been my dream for a long time. Today, it is your turn to start chasing your dreams, to step outside of your comfort zone, to exploit all of your skills and never doubt yourselves again.

Dear faculty advisors, staff members, and fellow delegates

My name is Alessio Negron, and it is an absolute privilege to welcome you to CarMUN 2026, where I have the honor of serving as your Secretary General alongside Isabella Marchini. Steering this conference and building upon its incredible legacy is a challenge we accept with immense pride. Year after year, CarMUN proves to be a powerful arena for diplomatic discovery, leadership, and personal transformation. It is a space where the values of unity and mutual effort truly come to life, guiding everything we do.

When I first stepped into the MUN circuit back in 2024, I never imagined I would be leading a conference. Back then, public speaking terrified me. The mere thought of standing before an audience and defending a position filled me with dread, making me want to stay hidden in my comfort zone. Yet, pushing through that initial fear changed everything. MUN gifted me a voice, sharpening my ability to negotiate, think under pressure, and speak with conviction.

A definitive milestone in this journey was attending Harvard Model United Nations (HMUN) in January 2025. We did not bring home the awards we originally targeted, but what we brought back was worth far more. Guided by our incredible coaches, faculties, and teammates, I discovered that true success lies in the resilience we build and the shared experiences that shape us.

This path has sparked deep personal growth, reshaping how I interact with the world. It has taught me to listen with empathy, speak with integrity, and understand my potential to make a difference.

Driven by this mindset, we selected this year's core theme: “Citizens of Today, Building Bridges for Tomorrow.” We want to challenge you to look beyond the gavels and the competition. Our goal for CarMUN 2026 is to inspire you to view diplomacy as a tool to unite divided perspectives. We hope you leave this conference ready to act as global citizens who do not just talk about the future, but actively build it.

Meet the Team

CarMUN 2026 is only possible thanks to the joint efforts of our team. Behind this year's conference are current students, advisors and former members from the school's delegation without whom none of this would be a reality.
