UPCOMING WACC PROGRAMS |
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.
