KDI school was selected as the one of host sites for the 2018 NASPAA Student Simulation Competition and we are looking for three (3) students who will be participating in the competition on February 24 (Saturday) 2018 at KDI School. 

WHAT IS NASPAA STUDENT SIMULATION COMPETITION?

A daylong competition for graduate students sat NASPAA Schools to work together to solve a complex public policy problem by using a simulation. The simulation model will emulate the process of solving real world problems while offering a distinctive experience to students. Students will interact with a model and see the potential results across a twenty-year span of time. On February 24, 2018, graduate students from NASPAA schools will compete at 16 global sites around the world in a dynamic daylong competition.

The 2018 Topic: Pandemic Crisis Management and Global Health Security:

The simulation will focus on the roles MPA/MPP graduates would have to play in the event of a pandemic outbreak of a deadly infectious disease. MPA/MPP students will work within the confines of governing bodies to reassess the rules and institutions that govern health policy and practice at the subnational, national, regional, and global levels. In this simulation, MPA/MPP students will take the lead roles in identifying solutions and potential strategies to mitigate the potential devastating impacts of a pandemic. NASPAA believes it is imperative that MPA/MPP students’ knowledge on “global health security” is furthered so they are prepared to act during a public health crisis.
