During an immersive week long summer camp, students explore current global issues through a multitude of opportunities. From engaging with subject matter experts, to working on collaborative diplomacy simulations, students gain skills and insight into becoming diplomats for a better tomorrow.
The World Affairs Seminar promotes a better understanding of international conflict, with the idea that if causes are understood then solutions can be developed in a collaborative environment, resulting in Peace Through Understanding.
