The World Affairs Council of Charlotte (WACC)
was founded in 1983 as an outreach program of
UNC Charlotte
and its
Office of International Programs.
As a
non-profit, non-partisan organization, it is supported by
private funding from individual and corporate member dues and
contributions.
As a regional
center for education and
discussion of world affairs, the Council seeks to provide
leadership for global thinking, believing that a broad
perspective is necessary for effective competition in the global
economy and for responsible citizenship in an increasingly
interdependent political world.
