The student facilitator is Samira Mudd.

This course provides students with an opportunity to practice the application of government and international relations theory and knowledge through simulations. The simulations will be based on real world situations that have or could develop and can be applied to current events such as nuclear weapons usage and proliferation. By participating in such simulations students will learn about risk assessment and how their situational awareness can be improved for responses in real world situations. After running the simulations, students will reflect as a group on decisions individuals and the group made and compare between student groups how endpoints were reached. Participating in this simulation lab will help prepare students for future career paths where policy or research response is required.
