LEBANON
VALLEY
Benjamin Fisher of Whitehall recently participated in the annual simulated European Union (EU) parliamentary session in Washington, D.C.

The EU simulation stems from the course by the same name, which alternates between Dr. Diane Johnson, department chair and associate professor of politics, and Dr. Philip Benesch, associate professor of politics, each fall. This year, students focused on Sweden and played the roles of national ministers or members of the EU Parliament or Commission. The theme of the directive under debate was the current migration crisis in Europe, a very timely and critical issue.
Students began the fall semester by studying the history, culture and current political environment of the country they were assigned to represent at the conference. Students also studied how the EU operates, as well as its history and current issues and tensions.
