Çağatay Tor

Crisis Director

At the heart of the most unpredictable committee of AUMUN 2026 stands Çağatay, serving as the Crisis Director. As the primary architect behind the committee’s evolving narrative, Çağatay is responsible for designing the complex web of political, military, and social crises that delegates must navigate.

With a deep mastery of strategic storytelling and diplomatic simulations, he oversees the "Backroom," ensuring that every action taken by a delegate triggers a meaningful and often challenging consequence. His role is to push the boundaries of conventional diplomacy, forcing participants to think on their feet and adapt to a rapidly changing world. Under Çağatay’s direction, the Crisis committee promises to be an immersive, high-stakes experience where only the most agile minds will prevail.

Elif Sude Uysal is a sophomore in the Department of English Language and Literature at Atatürk University. A familiar face within the AUMUN community, she returns this year with a unique background, having previously served in both the Crisis Department and the Entertainment (ENT) Team.

As the Crisis Chair, Sude is dedicated to providing unwavering support to all delegates while guiding them through the unpredictable turns of the committee. She is eagerly looking forward to meeting everyone in April and witnessing the strategic brilliance of the participants. She wishes all delegates the best of luck in what promises to be an unforgettable, high-adrenaline experience.
