BACKGROUND GUIDE

Director

Terry Yang

Terry is a first-year student at Keble College, Oxford, studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). He has competed in the Australian circuit of MUN (the Evatt Competition) from 2020 to 2023 and fondly remembers his first committee session, where he was too nervous to do anything more than ask a single point of information. Since then, he has qualified for the Evatt National Finals twice (although he was unable to attend either), chaired with Oxford Global, and represented Oxford as a delegate. In the gap between the end of the Australian academic year and the beginning of the UK one, he was briefly a debating coach and a public servant within two departments of the Australian Federal Government. In his spare time, he enjoys bouldering, playing obscure board games, and cooking.
