CSMUN XV Secretariat

Hey loves! My name is Adunolaoluwa Ogedengbe, though I usually go by Adunola, and I am beyond honored to serve as your Secretary General of Logistics and CSMUN for CSMUN XV!! As a current senior, this year marks my 4th year in MUN and my 3rd year on the secretariat--an opportunity I'm extremely grateful for. Outside of Model UN, I am involved in a plethora of extracurricular activities within my school community; namely, I am the President of Sandburg's Black Student Union, Medical club/HOSA, ACES, and serve as Senior Class President! I am also the co-founder of African IFEST where we perform cultural dances and I am the podcast host/founder of "The Voice of Sandburg" under my school's leadership team. Passionate about student advocacy, I'm proud to represent our students on the district board for the second consecutive year as well. Nevertheless, my community engagement extends beyond school; as the President of my church's youth group, I consider my Christian faith to be a cornerstone of my life and I've also co-founded a global neuroscience nonprofit which provides pre-med opportunities to students through online resources. As you can see, I love taking on new challenges while keeping myself busy. In my spare time, you might find me traveling, belting out Hamilton tunes, indulging in reality TV (particularly "Love is Blind" and "Love Island"), or enjoying a meal with friends. In the near future, I hope to study Public Health and Public Policy in college as exploring the intersection between medicine and politics greatly intrigues me. Enough about me, I cannot wait to see you all at CSMUN XV very soon!!

I am so excited to present all the committees we have at CSMUN XV with a variety of interesting topics. I hope that CSMUN XV evokes passion and creativity for all delegates in which it fosters your love for Model UN the way CSMUN does :)
