Ryan Duong
SECRETARY-GENERAL
Ryan (‘28) is ENTHRALLED to make sure that this year’s BUSUN XXX is one to remember as the Secretary-General. Previously, he served as the Director of Operations, Technology, and Media during BUSUN XXIX, as well as a chair during BUSUN XXVIII, while competing on behalf of Brown’s Model UN Travel Team in General Assemblies across the collegiate circuit! When he’s not updating the website or keeping track of everything (everywhere, all at once), he’s studying Applied Mathematics & Computer Science, trying to stabilize satellites as part of Brown Space Engineering, or making games on Roblox.

Diane Dao
DIRECTOR-GENERAL
Diane (‘27) is DREAMING about BUSUN XXX, where she will serve as Director-General and handle all logistical planning for the conference. Previously, Diane served as Director of Delegate Affairs, where she had the pleasure of corresponding with all advisors and delegates as they prepared for a spectacular rendition of BUSUN. Besides her obvious love for logistics and Excel sheets, Diane also loves matcha, crafting, and watching cooking shows. You’ll probably find her with some caffeine in hand and AirPods in the Blue Room.
