November 18, 2009
David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh
Ellen Freeman, counsel in the Immigration Section of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney's Pittsburgh office, will participate in the 39th annual World Affairs Institute, "Europe at a Crossroads," taking place Wednesday, November 18, 2009, at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh.
One of the major school programs of the year, the World Affairs Institute examines a key foreign policy issue or international area of interest to the United States. Participants will include some 400 high school students and teachers drawn from all over western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio.
At this year's institute, a distinguished group of speakers will share their perspectives on challenges facing Europe and the European Union, and Europe's connections to the rest of the world.
In the afternoon, the students will meet in small discussion groups to analyze a foreign policy scenario and develop a strategy for the United States.
Freeman will serve as a discussion group leader, directing active student involvement in a critical discussion of the problem and helping students weigh U.S. interests and options in the situation. She will assist students in a critical thinking exercise that demonstrates the difficulties of formulating policy in complex situations.
