ELLIOTT HUSSEMAN

CHIEF of Staff

Elliott is a fourth year studying Archaeology and Spanish, and was lured away from his hometown of San Diego, California by the promise of “seasonal weather.” He will still, however, defend In-N-Out to the very last as the single greatest burger joint known to mankind, and does not entertain any opinions to the contrary.

His previous stints at ChoMUN have included serving as Assistant Chair for ChoMUN XXVII’s How The Sausage Gets Made: Armour and Company, 1906, as well as Crisis Director for ChoMUN XXVIII’s Do You Hear The People Sing: June Rebellion, 1832 and ChoMUN XXIV’s JCC Ad Astra Per Aspera: Centek Corporation.

On the rare occasions when he’s not thinking about Model United Nations, he’s liable to be found curled up with a good book and a cup of tea, rewatching Battlestar Galactica or Vertigo for the umpteenth time, or deep in a game of Civilization. He harbors a soft spot for both big band jazz and Puccini’s opera, and a perennial affinity for all things jelly bean related.

For questions, comments, or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out at ehusseman@uchicago.edu.

Outside of ChoMUN, Oliver likes to tell and read stories. As a long term Dungeons and Dragons DM, he is always looking for a way to build narratives and characters from the stories we tell - both about the past and present. When not working on ChoMUN or his classes, you might catch him reading fantasy or science fiction novels - the longer the book, the better! If you want to chat politics (geo- or national), book recommendations, or board games, Oliver is your guy. You can reach him at oheatly@uchicago.edu. Best of luck, and see y'all at conference!
