HIGHLIGHT: Stockton Students Participated in the NATO x WMGIC Challenge on 11/1/2024
The Hughes Public Policy Center sponsored two teams of Stockton students at the 2024
NATO x William & Mary Global Innovation Challenge (WMGIC) on November 1st. From their website, "Over several hours, hundreds of undergraduate
students will compete to propose the best way for NATO to counter disinformation from
a policy perspective in one of the following topic areas: Artificial Intelligence,
Public Health, Russia-Ukraine War, Gender-Based Violence, Terrorism, Climate Change
(Climate Security), Climate Change (Clean Energy), and Human Rights. Each plan of action will consider NATO’s existing capacity and what actions NATO should
implement within the next 12 months."
