Model National Security Council

This camp will explore the National Security Council, the President of the United States’ principal venue for national security and foreign policy decision making and main arm for coordinating such matters across federal agencies. Using a variety of active learning techniques, students will learn about some of the United States’ most pressing international challenges. Each student will represent a member of the National Security Council, conduct research from that member’s perspective on a specific issue, and draft a brief position paper. On the last day of the camp, students will participate in a simulation.
