The International Press Corps (IPC) deviates significantly from the other traditional Model UN committees. Throughout the conference, IPC journalists—representing different news agencies with varying perspectives and ideologies—are tasked with observing committee proceedings and collecting content. They then report their findings by writing short articles and videos. These pieces are published on the CAHSMUN website. On the IPC homepage, delegates can find everything from formation of blocs to the chaotic unfolding of a crisis committee. 

Questions, inquiries, and position papers for this committee can be emailed to ipc@cahsmun.org.

Sophia Karmali | Director

Sophia Karmali is a sophomore at Burnaby North Secondary School and is thrilled to serve as the Director of IPC. She discovered her passion for Model UN in seventh grade, and after her first conference, she never looked back. From stuttering through her initial speeches to confidently raising placards and delivering passionate arguments, Sophia loves every aspect of MUN: writing last-minute position papers, running on little sleep, collaborating with fellow delegates, passing resolutions, and exploring new cities. She especially loves being a director and helping new delegates explore the world of MUN. Now, she helps lead and teach her school’s MUN delegation, where she enjoys mentoring new delegates. Outside of conferences, Sophia can be found reading, debating any topic, walking her dog Buddy, or searching for new challenges. She is thrilled to meet all the new and returning delegates at CAHSMUN 2027. See you in March!

Zack Zhou | Chair

A sophomore at St. George’s School, Zack is jubilanted to serve as the Chair of the International Press Corps at CAHSMUN 2027. Ever since his first conference as a timid seventh grader in which he spoke a grand total of one time, he has grown to enjoy every second of this non-spectator sport. Since then, Model UN has led Zack to form new friendships, enhance his public speaking, and improve his table banging skills. When not in a committee room, Zack can be found fiddling with playing cards, binging new Netflix series, or attempting to recover his horrendous sleep schedule. Zack wishes all delegates a memorable time in this unique format of Model UN.
