National security seminar
At Westminster College July 23-26, high school juniors and seniors will explore, confront and challenge global security issues at the Westminster Institute for National Security.
"Westminster College has developed the Westminster Institute for National Security in an effort to teach and train high school students who are interested in homeland, national and international security issues," said Tobias Gibson, associate professor of Political Science and Security Studies director. "Helping students build historical, political, ethical and cultural context within the security nexus is a key role of this Institute."
Students who will be in the 11th and 12th grade in the upcoming school year still have time to register for this intensive, residential academy experience.
Attendees will analyze, discuss, and debate such vital topics as use of torture in interrogations, uncovering financial fraud, responding to a biological crisis, and the role of Islam in global politics of the future. They will learn how to assess and analyze information to turn it into intelligence briefings.
The seminar will also examine original primary sources from the National Churchill Museum and a rare draft of the famous "Iron Curtain" speech Churchill gave at Westminster to see how the famous world statesman outlined security measures that would help the West win the Cold War.
Food, housing, and all activities and classes for the seminar will be covered by the $500 registration fee. Participants will also be eligible to earn one hour of college credit. For more information, contact Gibson at [email protected] or 573-592-5185.
