World Affairs Club
The World Affairs Club (WAC) is a dynamic student organization that incorporates extra-curricular activities with the classroom study of international relations. Comprised of IR majors, minors, and Lehigh students with an interest in international studies, WAC strives to stimulate and educate through guest lecturers and professor discussions. This allows students the opportunity to enhance their understanding of current issues, as well as their abilities to reason through pressing concerns. The World Affairs Club believes in providing students with access to individuals already accomplished in the field of international relations, which proves vital in finding direction for research, careers, and more. Along with its academic nature, the World Affairs Club creates a sense of community with entertaining activities such as Karaoke Night and the Where in the World is Carmen San Diego game, open to club members and the entire student body.
Model United Nations is an activity that WAC is responsible for on Lehigh’s campus. In the past, Lehigh has sent delegations to several conferences hosted by other universities in the region. Please contact Becky Montes de Oca, president (rtm206@lehigh.edu ) for more information.
The World Affairs Club also publishes a student publication. This bi-weekly journal is a collection of analytic writing, showcasing the intelligible musings of student opinion about the world around them. All Lehigh students are eligible to be published here, if selected.
