2019 NASPAA-Batten Student Simulation Competition: GLOBAL MIGRATION
Hosted by Ford School, this is not a public event.
2019 NASPAA-Batten Student Simulation Competition takes place in 12 competition sites around the globe. This year, Ford School is one of them. 2019 simulation theme Global Migration is based on real-world data. This simulation tests participants' ability to balance their budgets and their humanity. Will you sacrifice one for the other?
Ford School, Weiser Diplomacy Center and International Policy Center look forward to hosting 60 graduate students from 12 schools in the north central region. Ford School's hosting team of students: Aprisal W Malale (Indonesia), Jessica Taketa (USA), Jonatan Vega-Martinez (USA), Yusuke Namiki (Japan) and Lingling Peng (China). Our judges for the simulation are associate professor John Ciorciari, ambassador Melvyn Levitsky and associate professor Ann Lin.
WHAT IS THE NASPAA-BATTEN STUDENT SIMULATION COMPETITION?
The NASPAA-Batten Student Simulation Competition 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.
As part of the competition, teams will be expected to put together a policy memo and presentation. Evaluations of student performance will be based on two factors: 1) Their team’s simulation scores, and 2) Observations by subject matter experts serving as judges at each host site.
WHAT HAPPENS ON THE COMPETITION DAY?
The competition is an all day event. Teams will travel to their host site, where they will undertake three rounds of the simulation: twice in the morning, plus once after lunch. Each round will last approximately one hour. After the three rounds, student teams will be given time to put together a policy memo and presentation. Experts in related fields will serve as judges. The experts will evaluate the policy memos and the presentations. Following the presentations, a short debriefing will explain the logic and data behind the simulation. Winners will be announced at the end of the day.
NASPAA
Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration or NASPAA is the global standard in public service education. It is the membership organization of graduate education programs in public policy, public affairs, public administration, and public & nonprofit management. Its over 300 members – located across the U.S. and in 24 countries around the globe – award MPA, MPP, MPAff, and similar degrees.
NASPAA is the recognized global accreditor of master’s degree programs in these fields.
NASPAA’s twofold mission is to ensure excellence in education and training for public service and to promote the ideal of public service.
