Dalton Seney
USG LOGISTICS
After three years with HSMUN, two as an FPA for UN Women and INTERPOL, and one as USG Logistics, Dalton is thrilled to be back on the executive team for HSMUN 2026. Heading into his final year at the UofA, double majoring in Political Science and Media Studies, Dalton could not think of a better club to spend his remaining months with. You can usually find Dalton going on runs in the river valley, planning his next trip, or drinking an overpriced coffee while studying in Rutherford South. Dalton anticipates that HSMUN 2026 will be another amazing year and cannot wait to see all the delegates.

HSMUN has given her lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories, making it a special part of her university experience. When she’s not buried in lectures, you can find her lifting weights (to balance her 20th sweet treat of the day), reading, doing henna, or teaching her beloved gremlins (students) math. Samaha looks forward to seeing all the delegates at HSMUN 2026!
