There are many ways to get involved with the Conference on World Affairs year-round or during conference week. The CWA Program Committee is composed of CU students, faculty, staff and Boulder community members who volunteer their time to consider the crucial issues of the day, research candidates for CWA, and create exciting panels that will challenge our audiences.

The 2024 CU Conference on World Affairs is scheduled April 10-12, 2024. We’ll do what CWA does best—bring a diverse and eclectic lens to the issues and opportunities. 

We’re looking for volunteers to join the Program Committee, which identifies speakers and plans CWA 2024.

The CWA mission states that the conference is committed to free speech, thoughtful discussion of ideas, and a willingness to understand opposing points of view. A key committee that works to fulfill that mission is the Politics and Media Committee (PM), comprised of student and community members.  The speakers recruited by PM include journalists, professors, politicians, commentators, and other national leaders.  Recent CWA panel topics that showcase these speakers have included US domestic policies, the Constitution, the impact of media, Supreme Court issues, and the current political climate.
