Yearly,
IHSMUN holds the Iowa Youth Symposium in the Iowa Capitol. Every
October, hundreds of students attend the conference discussing what
the United States of America's policy should be on a variety of
topics. Topics in the last several years have included terrorism,
environmental degradation, the free use of international waterways,
and the role of the US in Peacekeeping operations. The tone of the
Statehouse, with the classic Georgian Revival architecture, is inspiring
for delegates, teachers, and the Secretariat.
