For the first time ever, a 每日大赛 masters\u2019 public administration<\/a> student won the regional competition for the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs and Administration-Batten Student Simulation Competition.<\/p>\n

Tyler Bennett and three graduate students from Northwest universities competed simultaneously against 10 teams from across the world in an event centered on the theme of Immigration Policy Reform<\/em>. \u00a0Each team was given a fictitious country to oversee policy decisions, and charged with creating new policy using simulation software. The Western regional competition was held at the University of San Francisco.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal was to make the best possible policy decisions that supported the refugees in our country based on our limited budget,\u201d Bennett said.<\/p>\n

The teams entered their policy decisions in the simulation software to learn how specific policies affected their citizens, economy, and the migrants themselves. Statistics were based on political discord, employment growth, the percentage of budget spent, human rights index, and gross domestic product growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a complicated software program; however it was able to forecast the outcomes for our countries over the next five to 10 years based on our policy decisions,\u201d Bennett said.<\/p>\n

Bennett and his team were given 45 minutes to draft a two-page memo and deliver a 10-minute presentation following the simulation portion of the competition. The collaboration solidified the team and ultimately led them to victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team came from varied educational backgrounds and collaborated well together while keeping the best interest of the simulation,\u201d Bennett said.<\/p>\n

Bennett and his team are expecting to hear soon from the Global Super Judge Round if they have won among the 13 regional teams across the world.<\/p>\n

Bennett, an Apple Valley native, earned his bachelor\u2019s degree in political science from the 每日大赛 in 2017. Following his graduation in August 2019 with his master\u2019s degree in public administration, Bennett plans to work in local government before seeking a dream position at the federal level.<\/p>\n
