Vancouver bids fond farewell to WorldMUN 2012 | 16 March 2012
It took two years to plan, one week to run, and now it's over except for the final reporting. 2,000 delegates from around the world descended on Vancouver, Canada for one magical week in March 2012. During their time here, they toured world-renowned and beautiful Whistler, one of the world's largest ski resorts; they cheered as they proudly greeted WorldMUN's arrival during the Opening Ceremony at the Orpheum Theatre; they debated and engaged in passionate diplomacy for 4 days at the beautiful Vancouver Convention Centre, located at the Downtown waterfront; they laughed and danced at WorldMUN's nightly social events at Science World, Vancouver Convention Centre, Whistler Village, and University of British Columbia; they enjoyed some relatively mild and dry Vancouver weather throughout; they shed a tear and saluted their new-found friends at the emotional Closing Ceremony, highlighted by the lighting of the Olympic Cauldron and fireworks display.

This was the 21st Session of the World Model United Nations. All in all, it was truly an event to remember.

This week would not have been made possible without WorldMUN's dedicated and talented army of 500 volunteers: the pages who delivered notes in committee; the Chairs and Assistant Chairs who helped committee run so smoothly; the Host Committee whose countless sleepless hours, innovations, and dedication has contributed to the success of this WorldMUN conference; and the Harvard Secretariat, for their unwavering support and encouragement throughout the entire process and the course of this week.

So as we pass the torch to our to-be-determined friends at WorldMUN 2013, we bid you fond farewell from Vancouver. Thank you for wonderful memories and contributing to the "best-ever" WorldMUN conference.

Come Together, GO BEYOND.
