Fourth Southwestern Model EU - Thank you!
The European Union Center at the University of Oklahoma would like to thank all of the participants and instructors involved in the Fourth Southwestern Model EU. The event, held on April 9-11, 2009 was a great success! Students from the University of Arkansas, Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma City University, the University of Oklahoma, Norman High School and Norman North High School joined together to simulate a European Council summit meeting. Heads of State, Foreign Ministers, Economics Ministers, and Environment Ministers met in enthusiastic and sometimes heated sessions to develop EU policy on such topics as EU expansion, global climate change, the global financial crisis, and policy towards the Middle East.
