Consisting of mostly new members, the team competed at October’s Orange County MUN and faced competition from delegations representing several UC, Cal State and community college campuses. Lakshmi Odedra, representing India, won the award for Outstanding Research in UNICEF. Mark Johnston, representing China, also received an Outstanding Research award, and along with Danielle Butterfield, received the Outstanding Delegation award for the General Assembly Plenary. Bobby Konoske won the award for Outstanding Delegate for his representation of China in the General Assembly Second Committee. Thus, Chapman received two out of four research awards.
