Ethical Leadership Drives MPA Students’ Success at NASPAA Simulation Competition

The mission of the Villanova University Master of Public Administration (MPA) program is to provide graduates the knowledge, values, skills and practices to be ethical, intelligent, inclusive and creative leaders in the field of public service. These qualities were on display at the 2024 Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs and Administration (NASPAA) Student Simulation Competition this March as five Villanova MPA students competed in the regional competitions, with one student taking home a first-place finish in the Virginia region at Old Dominion University.

Villanova MPA student Kate Wasson was part of the winning team at Old Dominion, while Julia Alves , Allie Garret , Nika Kirillova and Ana Valentina Wey competed in the New York region at Metropolitan College of New York.

“It was an honor to attend the simulation,” said Wasson. “I learned so much about foreign policy and balancing different interests. The simulation showed me how difficult it can be to make decisions, especially on a global scale. Seeing how our decisions impacted the other teams as we try to negotiate with them gave me such important insight into the real-world decisions that our leaders make every day.”

In this year's competition, players participated in the Host Nations simulation , which addressed challenges created by an influx of migrants. Players used their leadership and consensus-building skills to negotiate a regional response, agree on the distribution of shared resources and weigh the short-term costs of policies against long-term benefits. Teams were evaluated by the communication, negotiation, teamwork and critical thinking skills needed to excel in public service.

“Attending the NASPAA simulation was such an amazing experience that allowed me to gain a more in-depth understanding of the complexities that come with applying policy while under budgetary constraints,” said Wey. “This experience highlighted the importance of critical thinking and adaptability in high-stakes situations, and I am so glad I got to be a part of it.”

Villanova University was a Platinum DEIJA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice and Accessibility) Sponsor for the international competition, which took place at 12 sites across the globe as well as a NASPAA virtual site.

“We were excited to send five students to the competition and thrilled to celebrate Kate’s first-place finish,” said Villanova MPA Director Adam Kuczynski, PhD, JD ’16 MPA . “We are also proud to support NASPAA as Platinum DEIJA sponsors and share our belief in the importance of educational and professional communities that are diverse, inclusive and willing to address issues of equity.”

This year's win adds to the list of successful NASPAA Simulation competitions for Villanova MPA students, who have also been on winning teams in 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023.

“The experience was invaluable in my graduate career as it allowed me to apply what I learned in class to a real-world scenario,” added Garrett. “It was an honor to be among such passionate and driven public administrators from across the world that I know will be changemakers in their respective fields.”

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
