This article examines the organization & development of the Mid-Atlantic European Union Simulation Consortium (MEUSC), with special emphasis on linking theory to practice within its simulation program. The MEUSC program, initiated in 1993, brings fifteen colleges & universities to Washington, DC, each Dec for an intercollegiate experiential learning exercise on the European Union. During the simulation, students meet with professional diplomats from both the US & Europe, & they engage in consensus-building activities that mirror the decision-making processes of the EU Commission, Parliament, Council of Ministers, & the European Council. As a result, participants are able to refine & enhance a range of academic & practical skills that are keys for success in today's political & business worlds. The authors of this article make special use of a survey that was undertaken to gauge the impact of the simulation on its participants &, thus, its success as an educational venture. 3 Tables, 20 References.
