Dear Delegates,

Welcome to UPMUNC LVIII! My name is Brady Keith, and I have the immense pleasure of serving as your Crisis Director for the Bridgerton Crisis Committee. On behalf of myself and our entire staff, I’d like to express how thrilled we are to welcome you to what will most certainly be a most scandalous and strategic weekend.

As you step into the Regency world of high society, whispered secrets, and cutthroat courtship, remember: your reputation is everything. Your success will hinge not only on diplomacy and wit, but also on charm, cunning, and a well-timed promenade. Whether you aim to secure a suitable match, expose a rival's secret affair, or outmaneuver your enemies in a duel of both words and wiles, be prepared for twists worthy of Lady Whistledown’s pen. The ton is watching. Will you rise to the occasion, or find yourself the subject of next week’s most salacious scandal sheet? Alia and I are absolutely burning with anticipation to see the drama unfold.

For a little about me, at Penn, I’m currently a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, majoring in Linguistics and History. I’m a proud member of INTERCOL, Penn’s collegiate MUN team, and have been involved in Model UN since high school. This is my second year serving as a Crisis Director at UPMUNC, and I sincerely hope your experience is as memorable and enriching as mine has been.

Beyond Model UN, I work as a tour guide at the Penn Admissions Center and am currently the Co-Curator of TEDxPenn, where we host an annual conference featuring speakers from around the world. Originally from Los Angeles, I love spending time at the beach, cooking and baking, playing guitar and piano, and going out with friends.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Alia or me if you have any questions about the committee or the background guide. We can’t wait to see your characters come to life this November.

Brady Keith
