OVERVIEW
Small committees with distinct committee procedures (15-30 delegates)
The Non-Traditionals organ features unique committees that fall outside of the traditional procedure and composition of a Model UN committee, seeking to foster innovation, creativity, and passion for diplomacy in new ways. This organ houses some of NAIMUN’s hallmark (and most competitive) committees, such as the Ad hoc Committee of the Secretary-General, the Supreme Court of the United States, and the first-of-its-kind Trilingual Joint Crisis Committee. Alongside those, other dynamic and unique committees will redefine the limits and rules of Model UN, pushing delegates to think critically and debate substantively to develop creative and collaborative solutions.

UNDER-SECRETARIES-GENERAL
Mahika Sharma & Katherine Hart
ABOUT Mahika
Mahika Sharma is a member of the Class of 2027 in the Walsh School of Foreign Service, majoring in International Politics with a minor in Journalism. Hailing from Fairfax, Virginia—NoVA, for those who are hip—she did Model UN for six years before arriving at the Hilltop. Although she never attended NAIMUN as a delegate, she had the distinct pleasure of serving as Director for Azadi Records, 2022 at LXI and has staffed Georgetown's collegiate MUN conference, NCSC, twice. Outside the world of motions and moderated caucuses, you'll likely find Mahika writing reviews for the university newspaper, "The Hoya," touching grass as a leader for Georgetown's outdoor retreat program, ESCAPE, or doing the daily NYT games at a coffee shop somewhere for the aesthetic. She is so psyched to serve as your USG for Non-Traditionals, and she cannot wait to share in a fabulous conference weekend with you all!
ABOUT Katherine
Katherine Hart is a member of Georgetown’s Walsh School of Foreign Service Class of 2027, studying International Politics with a concentration in International Security and a minor in Russian. She has lived all over but spent most of her time in Spring, Texas. Katherine has competed in and staffed Model UN conferences since high school, attending NAIMUN twice as a delegate. At Georgetown, Katherine has had the honor of serving as Director of the ICJ for NAIMUN LXI. Outside of Model UN, Katherine is a member of Georgetown University’s Moot Court Team, the Social Chair/Editor/Writer for the Caravel, and loves picnicking on Copley Lawn when its sunny out! Katherine is extremely excited to take on her role as Under-Secretary-General of Non-Traditionals and cannot wait for you to experience the wonders of NAIMUN!
