According to a school release, "The event was divided into a simulation of the modern day United Nations and a simulation of a historical United Nations; in this case, the historical model was from 1950. Students represented the nations of Egypt and Slovakia in the modern session. They were able to debate, pass legislative propositions and form alliances all within the context of representing their nations interests."

"Acting as Director of the CIA, we planned the invasion of Korea and destroyed communism. I was constantly receiving intelligence reports and reviewing options to assassinate and infiltrate. CIMUN allowed the delegates to make decisions and pass resolutions that had effects that could be seen in real-time, making CIMUN a unique experience," said L. Britt Snider, director of the CIA, according to the release.

"I learned that in order to act effectively, a real understanding of your country's sentiments and history must be present," said Elizabeth Mayes, according to the release.

Second Baptist High School is at 6410 Woodway Drive, Houston.
