AWAC’s work expanded to include additional programs such as the Great Decisions Series, a discussion group in cooperation with the Foreign Policy Association, a distinguished lecturer series, a summer ambassador program, regularly hosting speaker events with guests who have international backgrounds or expertise in international issues, student programs and scholarships and providing community networking for individuals and organizations interested in global affairs.
