MPA Student Team Traveling to D.C.

We are excited to announce that our MPA program is sending four students to Washington, D.C. to participate in The NASPAA-Batten Student Simulation Competition on February 23 at Georgetown University. The issue is Global Migration Challenges. This is a day-long event that allows graduate students in public policy and related fields to test their skills on real-world data. This year, using a turn-based, participatory simulation developed for the competition by the Center for Leadership Simulation and Gaming, student teams will take on cabinet-level positions of a virtual country. Participants enter policy decisions in the simulation software to see how their policies affect their citizens, their economy, and the migrants themselves.
