Here is a look at one of the activities you will be part of once you are a NextGen E3 student! We work hard for you to receive the best support from mentors and peers. Don't miss this incredible opportunity. 

Model USDA:

Model USDA is a multi‑day experiential learning simulation that immerses students in food, agriculture, nutrition, forestry, and related policy issues under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and its federal partners.

Rather than learning about policy through lectures or debates, participants are placed directly inside a simulated policy environment. Each student is assigned:

• One scenario, representing a high‑priority policy issue

• One stakeholder role within that scenario, representing a real organization, office, or institution involved in that issue
