Nadia Tarazi
Director
Hey everyone! My name is Nadia Tarazi and I’ll be serving as the Director of the UNHCR committee this year. I’m currently a junior at UNC Charlotte majoring in Political Science with a double minor in Legal Studies and Marketing. I’ve been involved in Model UN for about 7 years now, and I’m especially passionate about topics related to refugee rights, global justice, and international law. Outside of MUN, I’m the founder and president of UNCC House of PR, a student-run creative agency, and I serve on the executive boards of the Arab Student Organization and Egyptian Club. I’m super excited to see the thoughtful debates and innovative solutions delegates bring to the committee this year!
