"I think the 2004 TJ TechMUN conference was a great way for our club to round out the year. It was a solid, challenging experience for our members. The conference provided a terrific opportunity for everyone to practice their public speaking, negotiating, and debating skills," said Eurica Chang, MUN co-sponsor. Sophomore Sofia Misenheimer agreed when she said, "We learned a lot about world affairs. It was a great experience."
