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.

In a world dominated by a constant influx of new media, trends, and cultural phenomena, the CWA Pop Culture Committee is comprised of of students and community volunteers who discuss and develop panels for the conference centered around the ever-evolving world of popular culture. From film, music, television, and internet culture to fashion, celebrity influence, fandoms, and the intersection of politics and pop culture, our committee explores a myriad of topics that shape and reflect the society we live in. We recruit speakers from diverse backgrounds and expertise, including artists, writers, influencers, cultural critics, and industry professionals to provide a multifaceted perspective on current pop culture issues and trends. Every year, we strive to create panels that are not only engaging and entertaining but also insightful and thought-provoking, encouraging a deeper understanding of the role of pop culture in our lives and its impact on the world. If you are passionate about the forces that drive popular culture and want to engage in meaningful discussions about its influence and implications, join us at one of our committee meetings!
