The biennal Counter-Terrorism Simulation Exercise for students from IU McKinney and the IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) took place at the law school on November 18. This marks the fourth simulation exercise at IU McKinney.
The event allowed students to work alongside professionals in the public safety arena as they considered their options for responding to multiple threats happening throughout Indianapolis, including the IUPUI campus and Inlow Hall.
