United Nations Day

October 25 2024

UN Day welcomes students from all over campus and universities throughout Hampton Roads to be an ambassador for a day.

UN Day 2019

The ODU Model UN Society's premier on-campus activity, ODU United Nations Day, commemorates the creation of the United Nations in 1945. Co-sponsored by the ODU chapter of UNA-USA, UN Day is your opportunity to learn about simulations, conferences and how the United Nations really works.

ODU's UN Day 2023 was an extraordinary success. Students were registered for over 80 countries, representing Hampton University, Norfolk State University, Old à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã University and Regent University. It was intense and raucous, with weeks of UN debate compressed in a six-hour simulation, chaired by ODU's Zika Ozoh. Awards went to six participants—newcomers all.
