Simulations and Dominos

Today, we held our first Senate Committee simulation, in which students took turns advocating various positions regarding the situation in Mali. Learning about all of the nuances and angles of the conflict was fascinating.

The Return of Potomac Fever

Potomac Faithful,

We are back. I'll try to keep this blog, the blog for Hamilton College's D.C. Program, updated as frequently as possible.

Today, we visited the National Archives. While we couldn't take any photos in the building, the material was still excellent, and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in the U.S.'s documentary history. The current exhibit on the Cuban Missile Crisis was also magnificent, though it only runs through the 4th. When visiting the section on the founding documents, take a look at the engraving on the ground while you're on the line to enter the area. I found it fascinating.
