Come assess the future of the United States following our nation's shortest ever presidential term!

Chair | Elizabeth Hardin

Elizabeth Hardin is a second year student from Alexandria, VA studying government and public policy. She has been involved with Model UN since the second day of her college career, and before that was a veteran of multiple high school debate circuts across the US. Outside of MUN, she can be found hanging out at her sorority house, attempting to play pickleball, studying in one of UVA's many libraries, or refilling the coffee machines at UVA's Batten School of Public Policy. She is so excited to welcome you all to Charlottesville this weekend and hopes you love it as much as she does!
