Henry Levenson

Secretary-General

Henry's Model UN journey began in middle school, when he heard that Model UN was, "better than debate." Since entering Commonwealth, he's learned he doesn't need to choose between the two, working in leadership positions for both clubs. As a member of the COMMUN staff, he began as a crisis chair for the Second Punic War committee and transitioned to a crisis head for the cybersecurity committee the next year. Last year, he worked as the Junior Secretary-General, gaining valuable insights and experience for his current position of Secretary-General. He's excited to organize a meaningful and engaging conference for all attending.

​Sarah McPeek

Junior Secretary-General

Sarah has been participating in Model UN conferences since early middle school, and has been hooked on Model UN ever since. She has participated in Model UN as both a delegate at Commonwealth and as a crisis staff and later a crisis chair for COMMUN. Sarah is excited to organize an energetic, thought provoking conference this year and looks forward to meeting and engaging with all of the delegates!

Bella Wright

Undersecretary of Policy

Since joining Commonwealth School in 2021, Bella has been excited to focus on justice policy at COMMUN. Over the past two years, they’ve had meaningful experiences chairing committees on vaccine equity and prison reform and are honored to be on the Secretariat this year. They’ve loved COMMUN so far and are eager to help put together an engaging COMMUN IX and meet all of the new delegates.

Will Narasimhan

Undersecretary of Crisis

Will has participated in COMMUN since 7th grade, attending COMMUN for two years as a delegate and quickly picking up a love for the fast-paced and engaging nature of its crisis committees. In his first year at Commonwealth, Will worked as co-chair for the Second Punic War JCC, directly interacting with delegates and helping facilitate communication with crisis staff. In his following years, Will co-led the Star Wars and Greco-Persian Wars JCCs, creating their plots and organizing the central events that unfolded over the course of the conferences. This year, as Undersecretary of Crisis, Will is looking forward to making sure each and every crisis runs smoothly and continues COMMUN's tradition of unique and informative experiences for all delegates. 

Thomas Du

Undersecretary of Budget and Logistics

Thomas has been involved with Model UN since middle school, when he reluctantly joined the Model UN club at his school to get more experience speaking in front of a crowd. He attended COMMUN two times as a middle schooler, and then three more times as a chair and crisis head after joining the Commonwealth community. His passion for both discussing international policy and leading committees has kept Model UN intertwined with his life, giving him the experience necessary for this new position. This year, he is ecstatic to take on the role of Undersecretary of Budget and Logistics, hoping to help make COMMUN IX the best and smoothest one yet.
