TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The University of Alabama Crossroads Community Center will host Global Simulation Workshops on Friday, Sept. 22 and Saturday, Sept. 23 at the Student Recreation Center.
The event will be held from 3:15-7 p.m. on Friday and 8:15 a.m. – noon on Saturday.
Registration forms are now available in the UA Crossroads Community Center, and the registration forms are due by Friday, Sept. 15 at noon.

Other UA sponsors of the workshops include New College, Capstone International Center, Student Government Association, Ferguson Center, Housing and Residential Communities, International Honors Program and the Career Center.
The UA event was modeled after the World Game Workshop which has been used in more than 2,000 schools across 35 countries. The Global Simulation Workshop is an innovative program that allows students to become global leaders who are responsible for running the world for 30 years.
The workshop aims to build leadership and teamwork skills and to inspire students to explore the political, economic and social challenges that they face in a global community.
