Nominations for the annual NASPAA-Batten Student Simulation Competition are now open. The international, day-long competition allows grad students "in public policy and related fields" to test their skills on real-world data. The topic this year is "The Pandemic Game 2.0."
As part of the virtual competition, teams will be expected to put together a policy memo and presentation. Teams are made up of five students. Teams will be comprised of students from different schools. You can find more details here. Last year a TSPPPA student was on the global championship team!
If you are interested, you need to contact your program director or your advisor soon. The deadline for applications is January 20. Learn more.
