 Hey everyone! My name is Nathaniel Lum and I will be your head chair for the Internet Governance Forum of BMUN LXX! I'm very excited to meet you all and to chair you throughout the conference! I'm a 3rd year studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley. My major and academic interests greatly contribute to the topics at hand, and I love discussing topics which lie at the intersection of technology and policy! Outside of BMUN, I am a tutoring officer for Eta Kappa Nu, an EECS honours society, as well as a dancer. I spend a lot of time dancing and am very involved in the Berkeley Dance Community on various teams. I also love photography and classical music and spend a lot of time engaging in these hobbies of mine! I can't wait for conference to begin in just a week or so, and I hope that you all are just as excited as I am!
