Steven Sotomayor

Chair

Steven is a second-year in the college majoring in Political Science and Global Studies. He was born in Monroe, North Carolina, and then unfortunately ended up in Miami, Florida, the land of Gator wrestlers. While he claims to not be a Florida Man, we have our doubts….

Last year he specialized in historical committees, being a backroom AC for The End of Francoism: 1977 Spain in MUNUC 36 and a front room AC for The Unification of Italy, 1848-1871 in CHOMUN. Outside of MUN, he’s a part of URock (rock climbing club) and is an avid climbing evangelist (sorry, bouldering — apparently there’s a difference). When he’s not hanging out at the climbing gym, you can find him listening to Liquid DnB, discussing geopolitics, or playing strategy games. He’s recently discovered F1 (Vamos Chili!) and calls it “go-karts for adults.”

He will be your chair for this up-and-coming committee and he is excited to see how delegates will adapt and thrive in this intriguing period of Chinese history. If you have any questions, concerns, or would simply like to annoy him, his email is sotomayorsteven@uchicago.edu.

Ravi Mangar

Crisis Director

Ravindra (Ravi) is a second-year at the college majoring in Biology and Computer Science on the pre-med track. He hails from Queens, New York City ( supposedly the superior borough “because we have Spiderman”).

His first ever MUN conference was ChoMUN XXVII serving as an Assistant Chair for the Creation of Wells Fargo, and works on the administrative team behind UChicago’s high school conference. When not dealing with MUN affairs, Ravindra is a choreography director at the Le Vorris and Vox Circus, where he participates in poi-spinning, fiberwhipping, and fire-spinning. He also is an avid enjoyer of public transportation and treasures his international transit pass collection (seriously, ask him about it). He’s also known to take long walks, read web novels, watch dramas (Hidden Love hehe), and write short stories that will never leave his notes app.

Ravindra is thrilled to be your Crisis Director for ChoMUN XXVIII, and he can’t wait to respond to the crazy ideas you have in mind for committee.

If any of the above interests you, especially anything dance or transit, you are free to reach out to him at rmangar30@uchicago.edu.

Diego Estrada Adame

CRISIS DIRECTOR

Diego is a second-year at the college majoring in Political Science and Economics. He comes from the renowned city of El Paso in Western Texas — he wears his Texas pride on his sleeve and will tell you so!

Diego has served as an Assistant Chair in the Unification of Italy at ChoMUN XXVII, Assistant Chair in UChicago’s highschool MUN conference, and a member of the UChicago competitive team. Outside of MUN, Diego is involved in the UChicago Society for International Relations where he writes weekly newsletters and gives his (professional) opinions about international affairs. In his free time, he enjoys reading (light novels), playing board games (except Risk… never again), and exploring the great city of Chicago.

Diego is very excited to be your Crisis Director for ChoMUN XXVIII, and is looking forward to seeing how delegates use their resources to change the course of history!

If you want to reach out to him for any reason (except to talk smack about Texas), his email is destra@uchicago.edu.
