Mark Antczak
Director of Volunteers
Hello WorldMUNers !
My name is Mark Antczak, and I was given the amazing opportunity to be the Director of Volunteers for the 2012 Vancouver Host Committee. Originally from the suburbs of Hamilton, Ontario, I moved to UBC to open myself up to opportunities such as this one. I’m a third year psychology major studying gender and sexuality, with a minor in political science.
I applied for this position because working with volunteers has essentially been the center of gravity during my high school and undergraduate career. It’s something that helps keep me grounded and connected to the communities that I’m part of. I’ve worked with the UBC Orientations Team since my first year on both a national and international level, and as the volunteer director via Vancouver Pride and Outgames. Having never been involved in WorldMUN before, I’m excited for the experience, the challenge, and the friends that I’ll make in this unforgettable journey.
During my spare time I’m surfing in Tofino, snowboarding in Whistler, or enjoying the downtown city nightlife. I hold an unconditional love for BC and I take every opportunity to brag about the mountains and oceans in my backyard. I also enjoy collecting loose leaf teas from around the world and listening to dubstep. Above all I’m excited to meet you ! Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or just to say hi!
Cheers!
Mark Antczak
