Twelve Drake students traveled to Brussels during J-term to participate in the Model European Union (EU). Students learned about the EU’s institutions and participated in dialogues and a press corps with students from other American and European Universities. Students represented country delegations from the various EU member states. The discussions simulated ministerial-level conferences on issues of migration and improving the European economy, among other topics. Student came away from the conference with a better understanding of the institutions and issues facing the EU.
