THE THIRD CRUSADE
ABOUT THIS COMMITTEE
The dust of the Levantine desert has settled, and Sultan Saladin has claimed Jerusalem for Islam. In response, the Pope has called the Third Crusade, and the supposedly righteous Kings of Christendom have answered his call. All eyes fall on Jerusalem. But infighting and treachery threaten to dismantle both the Crusaders and the Muslims.
Will Jerusalem remain a Muslim stronghold, or will it be reclaimed as a beacon of Christendom?

SENIOR CHAIR
Disha De
Disha is a first-year student at Rutgers University from Northern Virginia. She is majoring in Political Science and Economics on the pre-law track. Disha has been involved in Model United Nations since high school, where it quickly became her favorite activity. Outside of MUN, Disha loves debate just as much as she loves coming up with creative ways to approach a problem. When she’s not researching a country’s foreign policy or arguing over a working paper, you can probably find her playing chess, fishing, listening to music, or talking about Drake. She can’t wait to see the creative solutions you all bring to committee!
