Presidential Cabinet

Dear Distinguished Members of the Cabinet,

Hello and welcome to Washington! We are thrilled to be working with you this spring as we tackle some of the most pressing issues facing our country today. As Cabinet officials, you will be advising the president and providing important testimony to Congress on the most pertinent national concerns. Get excited: the Presidential Cabinet is a dynamic, fast-paced simulation that we are sure you will find extremely enjoyable!

Mate is a junior Economics and Government concentrator at Harvard living in Dunster House. He was born in Budapest, Hungary and has been living in Germany for most of his life. This international upbringing has not stopped him from developing a knack for American politics. This is his third year with Harvard Model Congress, and he also staffs the HMC Europe conference as well as directs the HMC Asia conference. Besides preparing for ultimate testimony marathons for HMC, his interests include politics, business, squash, and tennis.

Irene Yuan is a senior in Mather House. She is studying English and American Literature and Language with a secondary field in Economics. From Northern California, Irene can’t say that the weather is what drew her to Harvard. A Presidential Cabinet veteran, Irene is returning for her second year to the Cabinet. She also will travel to Brussels, Belgium over spring break for HMC Europe, where she will serve as the Chair of the Press Corps. She is so excited to be back in committee with some of the most powerful figures in the US government!

Of course, we are excited to meet and engage with you in February. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to us at any time before the conference as you are preparing. We anticipate hearing inspired and thoughtful proposals when we sit down in committee – the Cabinet works best when everyone has thought carefully about all the issues at stake. We encourage you to invest yourself in becoming an expert in your field and dedicating your time to issues of national importance. We’ll see you at the conference!

Sincerely,


Mate Pencz
