"TJMUN is family and TechMUN is our only child. So if I ever hear anything, anything at all…

TJMUN has become my life over the past four years, blessing me with my most cherished high school relationships and experiences. TechMUN has been made possible only by the most talented team (shout out to the biggest and best family)! With many months of late nights invested into TechMUN, we hope you all come in this weekend ready to have an amazing time, listen to one another, forge meaningful bonds, and most importantly, grow as individuals.

…Okay but seriously, don’t even think about saying a word against my baby ❤" — Lisa Raj, TECHMUN Secretary-General

"My three years in MUN have included some of the most transformative experiences of my life. Between the nonstop collaboration, nerve-wracking public speaking, and frantic resolution-writing, no other activity has shaped me as much as MUN." — Anuj Khemka, TECHMUN Director of Media

"Since I started Model UN my freshman year of high school, I eat, sleep, and breathe TJMUN. After competing in tons of conferences, running committees, and serving on TJMUN leadership for the last three years, I can easily say that TJMUN has become my second family and one of the most rewarding parts of high school.

Aside from learning how to last-minute research, improvise speeches, and calm down novices, TJMUN has shown me the power of community. From complaining about committee to late night Insomnia Cookie runs to crying in hotel rooms, I wouldn’t trade the TJMUN friendships I made for the world. Joining the club gave me lifelong memories and was easily one of the best decisions I made in high school… 10/10 would recommend:)" — Kaleena Roeva, TECHMUN Undersecretary-General

"In four short years, I've seen myself and my classmates transform from clueless freshmen into leaders who can shape the world. Each year, we continued to pass down the lessons we learned to novice members, in the same way our upperclassmen did for us. TJMUN has become my second family, and will forever be something I treasure. As you compete in TechMUN, I hope the valuable skills and connections you learn can be brought back to your own teams, allowing all of you to form your own irreplaceable bonds." — Vikram Raghu, Director of Delegations

"Mr. Rogers is my biggest inspiration in life. He was good looking, and he was able to bring a positive message in an entertaining way. I try to make myself better every day. Like Mr. Rogers. For example, Mr. Rogers’ favorite number was 143 because it takes one letter to say I, four letters to say love, and three letters to say you. I love the number 143 too. But that’s because it takes one letter to say I, four letters to say love, and three letters to say MUN.

In all seriousness, I’ve met so many awesome people through my five years of competing in MUN, and I couldn’t be more thankful for everything I’ve gotten out of it, whether it’s the 5 AM gaming sessions (you know who you are ;)) or the newfound appreciation for the plight that many countries and people across the globe face." — Nathan Mo, Director of General Staff

"MUN😰😤😠➡️🌊🌴🌸TECHMUN🌺🌴🌊" — Sophia Suganuma, TECHMUN Director of Technology

We conclude by introducing the rest of our TECHMUN Directors and Secretariat!

"MUN has meant a lot of things for me over the past few years; from crying at ILMUNC (7 times in one conference, to be exact) to regularly talking with my bloc members from WMHSMUN, MUN has brought about an enormous range of emotions. I live for the late night pizza parties where we binge watch John Mulaney and ignore texts from our blocs, going out to lunch with other TJ dels and definitely not talking trash about the powerdels in our committees, and the rush of adrenaline (or sadness) right before awards ceremonies. Overall, MUN just means spending time with friends and trying to find the best in everything.

P.S.
Shout out to all of my double del partners: thanks to Ashley Chen for somehow enduring my horrible mods, Jason Yi for bringing his pencil case that looks like a fish to make small talk with our bloc, and Nathan Ma for helping me break my 5-conference no-award streak." — Erin Tran, TECHMUN Director of Hospitality
