The Kohi-Noir Affair

The Heist of the Crown Jewel

Delegates represent thieves, hackers, and black-market brokers from around the world tasked with planning and executing a covert operation to steal the Kohinoor diamond in London. Teams must outwit rival crews and international law enforcement while avoiding sabotage from those around them. However, this heist will lead to international consequences that must be handled by the delegates of the committee. (More for your information but a secret committee element we want to introduce is that the first committee session, delegates will represent their given dossier position, but every other committee session, their position will switch from thief to someone from the UK government trying to work against the heist)

In her free time, you'll find her at the tennis courts, on a run, at a local Thai restaurant, or curled up in bed reading a good book. After seven (amazing) years of MUN, Priya is so excited for VICS to roll up!
