Odyssey of the Mind Announcement

​After much discussion, our State Board has decided to move to Virtual Regional and State Finals tournaments in Michigan. We did not reach this decision lightly. With the current pandemic situation, we have to opt for safety and keeping everyone healthy. We will miss getting to see our teams present live, and we know that Virtual tournaments are not the same as In-Person. However, they will still allow our OMers's creativity to shine and be celebrated.
Further information will be shared as we move through the tournament season. Coaches will receive an email from their RDs soon.
We know you will have questions and we are all here to support you and help teams navigate this new opportunity. We also understand that some team members will be disappointed to not perform in person. We are sad too, yet, we are also excited to see how our OMers rise to this exciting new opportunity. We fully believe they will be amazing.
​
Feel free to contact your Regional Director, the Association Tournaments Director or me as the Association Director with questions.
Good luck to our all our MI OMers.

Alli Norcutt, "I‘ve done Odyssey for 9 years and I plan on attending GVSU to earning a Masters in social work and go onto be a councilor. I’d love to thank my coaches, Sue and Chris Potter, for pushing me to be the best version of myself and the odyssey community for teaching me that for every problem there is a solution. I love this program and sincerely will never forget the valuable lessons it has taught me.”

Phoebe Looman“I have been participating in OM for 13 years. It has taught me how to independently solve the problems that come my way with creative solutions. OM has lead me to study psychology at MSU. The leadership skills I have earned from my experience on a team of other Omers have created the person I am today and I hope I can give back to the program somehow in the future.”​​
