Dylan Reed of Montrose Represents Spain in European Union Simulation

2012 Jan 12

Dylan Reed of Montrose, Pa., participated in the Mid-Atlantic European Union Simulation in Washington, D.C., in November 2011. Reed and seven other Lebanon Valley College students represented Spain; LVC alumnus Christopher DeLorenzo '10 served as chair of the council.

Students were assigned to pass a resolution created by a panel of student European Commission members, focusing on Turkish Accession. Reed, a senior history and political science major, represented Spain's Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, prime minister, in the simulation.

The simulation engages students in discussion about topics currently debated by EU members, and is just one of many high-impact activities that Lebanon Valley College students experience. Students were accompanied to Washington, D.C. by Dr. Philip Benesch, associate professor of political science. The EU Simulation course is co-taught by Benesch and Dr. Diane Johnson, also associate professor of political science.
