The Social, Cultural, and Humanitarian Committee (SOCHUM) of the United Nations is one of the major six organs that make up the United Nations body. As a whole, its work encompasses human rights issues, questions around social matters, and tackles problems related to humanitarian affairs/aid. At this annual meeting of SOCHUM, representatives are set to tackle issues related to child labor, and the question of how to regulate drugs internationally. While the severity of these issues is widely disputed among the member states represented, the UN as a whole widely feels that such issues require comprehensive, and immediate solutions -- hence why this committee has convened. As a representative from your country, you are put in a unique position - you must advocate for your nation's perspective on the solution to the issue, while ultimately aiming to generate solutions that will stand the test of time. The Secretary-General is counting on this committee to advocate for solving the issues at hand, and expects great things from this committee. Don't let her down.
Hello! My name is Lucy Fornetti. I'm from Michigan and am a Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Major.

Hello! My name is Lucy Fornetti. I'm from Michigan and am a Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Major. If I'm not reading (or doing classwork), I'm likely writing something for Mock Trial, researching for the constitutional debate team—I help Zoom-coach for my former high school—or with friends, I'm outside as much as I can with the Rhodes Outdoor Organization. A fun fact about me is I've ridden horses since I was 12, and was fortunate enough to own my mare and ride competitively throughout high school. I'm a huge politics- and history-phile, and I'm super excited to meet everyone and co-chair the SOCHUM committee in March!
