Alaska World Affairs Council

All students from any school or university are invited to attend weekly Alaska World Affairs Council meetings at no cost. Please join Alaska World Affairs Council for a free meal and enlightening programs focusing on a variety of important subjects. Lunches happen every other Friday at 12 pm, but it's always good to check the Alaska World Affairs Council calendar as they do have other events as well. BP sponsors the program. Please be sure to RSVP to info@alaskaworldaffairs.org or 907-27-8038 to let them know if you intend to attend one of their lunches. Internship and job opportunities are also found at their website: www.alaskaworldaffairs.org
