Grady Thomson

President

Grady Thomson is a junior studying Political Science and Psychology, with a minor in Writing Studies. He has been a member of BobcatMUN since his freshman year at UCM. From club tabling to committee directing, he has enjoyed every second spent with the club (except for maybe when he had to learn the correct voting bloc procedures). Outside of MUN, Grady is interested in history and politics, enjoys listening to and playing music (anything Elton John), as well as watching soccer. He is also involved with student government at UC Merced, and volunteers for the UC Merced Law Clinic.

Leopoldo Navarrete is a double major in Political Science, Economics and a minor in Philosophy. He began Model United Nations during his first year when he wandered into a meeting and was then adopted by the president. Since then he has been an active and devoted member of the club. During his free time he likes playing videogames, organizing hang-outs, watching movies and generally being a cool-smooth guy.

If you ever see him, say hi!

Since then, he has become an integral part of the club, especially when members need a car ride to and from meetings. Outside of MUN, Christian enjoys listening to music (synthwave, metal, and The Beatles), watching horror and sci-fi movies, playing guitar, and watching baseball (go SF Giants!).
