Boris Zikratov
USG: Committee Operations
My name is Boris Zikratov, and I am in the class of 2010 in the School of Foreign Service. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, I have lived in the United States for the past 15 years – most of that time in the Washington, DC area. My model United Nations experience only began during my freshman year of college, but I have become quite active both on our competitive team and by staffing our own conferences. NCSC XXXVI will be a unique experience for me, since I will be responsible for logistical aspects of committee operations – a task that entails a large amount of responsibility, where I hope my contributions will make this upcoming NCSC one of the best run security conferences.
