Electoral Eclipse (02/25/23) Sign-Up Form

Join us for our first simulation of the Spring 2023 semester as we delve into events leading up to the general elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In "Electoral Eclipse", we will explore the political, ethical, and legal ramifications of this crisis in the DRC.


In "Electoral Eclipse," the general elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo arrive in the shadow of violence in the country's East. Internal displacement and food insecurity, among other humanitarian challenges, are on the rise. The international community seeks to reconcile their differences and address colonial legacies in the DRC in order to assist the country in its time of transition. Will they work together to ease this humanitarian crisis, or will political tensions reach a new high?


"Electoral Eclipse" will take place on Saturday, February, 2023, from 11:00 AM EST to 5:00 PM EST. This simulation will be held in-person at GWU's Funger Hall, COVID permitting.

If you are interested in being a mentor for this simulation, please contact Cassandra Micah at gwuscs@gwu.edu.
Please note that the simulation is capped at 60 participants, and any sign ups in excess of this number will be waitlisted. In the event that we have to waitlist participants, those participants will be eligible for priority registration for SCS' next simulation, and will be notified of this via email.
SCS simulations are designed based on the number of participants that plan attend our events. Therefore, registrants who fail to attend the event without giving prior notification (a minimum of 12 hours before the event) will be unable to register for the next simulation. Anyone affected by this policy will be allowed to return after skipping one simulation. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will implement this policy in a spirit of flexibility and accomodation to the extent possible.

***Discord*** - IMPORTANT
So that we have time to set up roles and channels appropriately on the Discord server, we require participants to register for a Discord account and join the server before arrive on sim day. You can sign up for discord here: https://discord.com/login

After creating an account, we will email the server link to you with your briefing materials prior to the sim.

******THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS THE SCS GENERAL MEMBERSHIP DISCORD SERVER.******
