Feeling burned out by midterms, bummed out by the steady drumbeat of terrifying news, and exhausted from trying to hunt down the last remaining roll of toilet paper in the DMV? Well consider yourself in luck! Because the Center for Security Policy Studies has the cure for what ails you (disclaimer: not a real medical cure). It's time to register for our annual spring simulation! Join us from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm on Saturday, March 28th as we put you in the driver's seat to see how you handle a nuclear standoff between the United States and, well, someone to the east of us. Trust me, it's a cool simulation. Think Kobayashi Maru, but with less lens flare. I designed this scenario with a team of CSPS PhD students and we've already 'tested' it out on a team of experts from the NATO Defense College as well as a class of Mason undergrads. None of them could avoid nuclear war (I suspect the undergrads didn't even try...) Can you? (Hint: You cannot. Hence the Kobayashi Maru reference). You don't need to prepare a thing. You don't need to pay a thing. Just show up and dive in. Breakfast and lunch are even included. So no excuses! Space is limited. Take a look at the attached flyer for more information.
