Meet the Secretariat

SECRETARY-GENERAL

Dre Boyd-Weatherly (‘26) is EXHILARATED to serve as Secretary-General for BUSUN XXVIII! Dre was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, and is currently pursuing a concentration in International and Public Affairs on the Policy and Governance Track. She has been involved with Model UN since starting her freshman year at Brown, and has previously served as Director of External Affairs and has staffed for BUSUN XXVI. Outside of MUN, you can find Dre doing ballet, watching Gossip Girl, or singing songs from various musicals such as Hamilton and Anastasia. She is so excited to see everyone in November!

SECRETARY-GENERAL

Robayet Hossain (‘26) is DELIRIOUS to be serving as one of BUSUN XXVIII’s Secretary-Generals this year. Robayet is originally from a small rural village in Chittagong, Bangladesh, and was raised in the vibrant city of New Orleans, Louisiana, for the majority of his meaningless life, which took a (drastic) turn when he unfortunately chose to concentrate in computer engineering at Brown. Robayet has been involved in MUN since freshman year of high school, and was a Louisiana state presiding officer; he continued his MUN journey at Brown, becoming a member of the travel team and serving as chair and committee director for past iterations of BUSUN. Outside of MUN, you can find Robayet frolicking on the Main Green, building NASA rovers for giggles, listening to the same songs on repeat, and pulling all-nighters for absolutely no reason. He loves everything related to STEM and dislikes everything difficult about it, but Model UN has never given him that much strife!

CHIEF OF STAFF

Jared Lebovitz (‘26) is ELATED to be serving as BUSUN XXVIII’s Chief of Staff this year. From San Jose, California, Jared is concentrating in Economics and Political Science and has competed in Model UN conferences since high school. Outside of Model UN, Jared is busy yapping at the Brown Political Union, Alexander Hamilton Society, and PPE Society, but also has time to research exhilarating tax policy with the City of Providence and plays for Brown’s world-famous Club Ice Hockey Team. In his free time, Jared enjoys reading, going to the gym, collecting obscure hockey jerseys (currently focused on defunct teams from the 1920s/1930s), and rooting for many different sports teams (none of whom can ever win a championship).

Lucas Pham (‘27) is EXCITED to serve as the Director-General of BUSUN XXVIII and is currently studying Behavioral Decision Sciences and Music at Brown. He is from Huntington Beach, California, where he participated in Model United Nations for 4 years and served as Secretary-General.

He is looking forward to working with everyone come November!

UNDER-SECRETARY-GENERAL OF SPECIALIZED AGENCIES

Elijah Nelson ‘27 is EXUBERANT to be serving as BUSUN XXVII’s Under Secretary-General of Specialized Committees this year. Elijah was born and raised in New York City, and has been doing Model UN for 7 years. At his High School he was the head of the organization and led it to be the most successful club in the school with the highest amount of participation among students. His appreciation for Model UN comes as it combines three of his favorite subjects: Politics, Rhetoric, and Social Engineering. Outside of MUN, Elijah plays an inordinate amount of strategy video games, Warhammer, drums, and ping pong. He loves music just as much as he loves living (too much!), and is studying IAPA (international and public affairs) at Brown.

Coming to Brown from right here in Providence, Rhode Island, Tucker is concentrating in International and Public Affairs and History. Though he is concurrently serving as Head Delegate for Brown’s travel team, MUN isn’t Tucker’s only passion. You can usually find him on the water with the Club Sailing Team, rewatching the West Wing for the 27th time, discussing his cold brew coffee maker, or defending his favorite dining hall, the Ratty, from its many haters.
