The delegation included old and new members, including Cas Rehage, Megan Atkins, Luke Owens, Elizabeth Eberwine, Andy Bowling, Coleman Mantell and Joanne Kim.

Matthew Clary, the team’s faculty adviser and political science lecturer, was elected as a faculty representative to the SRMUN Inc. Board of Directors and will serve as the board’s secretary for next year.
