So the bar was pretty high for those students,\u201d said Ambassador Crocker after listening to his Task Force group of students in a two-hour session and analyzing their recommendations. \u201cWell, they more than made it over. They set up recommendations based on a thorough understanding of what the realities were. It was a textbook example of these Task Forces being not just an interesting exercise for the students but being completely policy relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Held in winter quarter, nine groups of 15-20 students investigated one of the following topics for Task Force 2017:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A New Nuclear Era: The U.S. Role in the Shifting Global Energy Landscape<\/li>\n<li>Extremist Use of Social Media: Balancing Privacy &amp; National Cybersecurity<\/li>\n<li>Redefining American Leadership for an Internationalized Era<\/li>\n<li>Syrian Women and Children\u201d Identifying Gaps and Goals for Reconstruction<\/li>\n<li>Finding Common Ground in the Puget Sound Tulalip Tribes, Millennials and the Environment<\/li>\n<li><em>Ippen Dron<\/em> \u2013 All of Us Together: Tools to Address U.S. Nuclear Colonialism in the Republic of the Marshall Islands<\/li>\n<li>The Cycle of Violence: Migration from the Northern Triangle<\/li>\n<li>Maritime Security isn eh Asia-Pacific: A Navigational Map for the New U.S. Administration<\/li>\n<li>Challenges to European Unity: Options for U.S. Policymakers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This year also marked the start of Task Force at the UW Rome Center, in Italy.
