United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)

About the Committee:

In the shadows of global progress lurk the threats of illicit drug networks and cartels, human trafficking rings, cybercrime rings, and corruption that seeps into the cracks of justice systems globally. Without the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), these threats will break down our justice system and leave societies in ruins! Fear not! UNODC is here! They stand at the frontlines of this battle, not with weapons, but with policy, cooperation, and the power of international law. As delegates to this high-stakes committee, you will navigate the murky waters of transnational crime, balancing diplomacy with urgency. Will you disrupt the illegal and global narcotics trade? Expose the underbelly of human trafficking? Or rewrite the rules of global justice? The world is watching, and in this committee, silence is not an option! It’s time to act now!

A LETTER FROM THE DaiS:

Dear Delegates,

My name is Kaylyn (Kay) Wilson-Hill, and I will be one of your co-directors for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime this year! I am a sophomore in the College of Literature, Science, and Arts here at the University of Michigan, studying Political Science with a minor in crime and justice. Outside of MUNUM, I am the co-president of Writer's Den, I am on the women’s club Rugby team, and I am on the Ginsburg Student Advisory Board. Not only that, but I am a member of ‘Students of Color interested in Law, Government, Policy and Social Justice’, Delta Gamma Phi (the only pre-law sorority on campus), and Empowering Women in Law. Outside of school, I love to go thrifting, hang out with friends and explore the world. I also love scary movies!

My name is Massimo Garcia, and I am your other co-director for UNDOC for MUNUM XXXIX! I am a sophomore at the Ross School of Business, studying Business Administration with a minor in Real Estate Development and UX Design. Outside of MUNUM, I'm involved in mostly Ross-affiliated clubs. I'm an Associate in UpRound Ventures (a student-run $100k VC fund), a Business Analyst in Atlas Consulting Group (a pro-bono strategy consulting club), an Analyst in BlackGen Capital (a minority-run investment fund) , and a Project Manager in ALPFA (a Latino Ross-affiliated affinity group). Outside of school, I love cars and airplanes, playing soccer, architecture and art, and traveling and walking around campus. I’m also originally from Miami, FL, so I can answer any questions about the out-of-state student experience.

If you have questions about the committee or otherwise, we are available at kwilsonh@umich.edu and massimog@umich.edu

Best,

Kay and Massimo

Co-Directors for UNODC
