Our Interns

Students at area high schools are serving as interns at various NCWA programs to learn about international affairs. Most of them have participated in Model UN or Academic WorldQuest competitions and have asked for ways to continue to expand their knowledge. NCWA is proud to oblige their requests.

Students from several high schools have volunteered to write summaries of the lectures given to NCWA members throughout the season. They do not insert their opinions or analysis of what the lecturer presents, but simply present a brief written summary for your convenience. While NCWA members can access archived videos of the lectures by clicking here, we thought you might also enjoy reading short summaries by our engaged students of what our distinguished lecturers had to say. (You need to be logged in as a member to access the videos).
