One month ago today, our team was visiting sunny San Diego connecting with our fellow Ports from around the world! ☀️ From panels to tours, visiting with keynote speaker Sang Yi, black tie dinner aboard the Midway, and connecting with ODU Alum who have made San Diego home; there was not a minute to be spared! ⏰

Students from the The Propeller Club of the United States, Port of Old Dominion University were in strong standing again this year, participating in panels of their own and taking full advantage of every learning opportunity.

We remain absolutely ecstatic to have been named Port of The Year and look forward to continued collaboration with all of our neighbors across the water. Thank you, The Propeller Club Port of San Diego & International Propeller Club of the United States for a fantastic Convention. 🏆
