2009 Conference Highlights and Awards
ODUMUNC 2009 was the best organized conference we have ever run. It is hard to explain how anything so big can run so well. My thanks go out to everyone who contributed to its success, especially the 45 high schools who brought at total of 85 remarkably well-trained and realistic delegations, the 60 faculty sponsors who made them what they are, and the 60 support staff from ODU who made everything run like clockwork." So reports conference Secretary-General Tim Gorde after the four day event.
