Ten Westminster College students attended a workshop on international security Dec. 4, hosted by the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh.

The students are in an "International Law and Organization" class taught by Dr. Michael Aleprete, assistant professor of political science, who accompanied the group.

The focus of the workshop was non-state threats. Morning sessions were panel discussions on topics that included "Insurgency and Post-Conflict Contingencies," "Violent Armed Groups in Africa," and "Homegrown and Suicide Terrorism." Students participated in a crisis simulation in the afternoon.
