Build Leadership Skills Through An Immersive Historical Simulation

It’s 1983. Hundreds of American medical students are stranded in Grenada. The world is watching. Democracy hangs in the balance. And the clock is ticking.

Your students will step into the roles of President Reagan, the Secretary of Defense, and top military advisors—tasked with making real-time decisions that will determine whether those students make it home safely.

Every choice carries weight. Act too slowly, and lives are at risk. Act too aggressively, and global stability is on the line.
