On behalf of The George Washington University’s International Affairs Society, it is with great pleasure and honor I invite you all to participate in the thirteenth annual Greater Washington Conference on International Affairs.  The 2008 conference is an ideal forum for middle school students in grades five through eight to learn about and discuss the conflicts and issues facing our world.   

With its constructive debate and a professional atmosphere, GWCIA XIII will serve as a model learning experience for all students involved.  The conference to be held at The George Washington University emphasizes the spirit of diplomacy and art of negotiation.  By channeling the professionalism of our staff and the ideal DC location into our conference, GWCIA is a yearly success.  The conference is fun, exhilarating, and educational for all participants. 

  Our staff members are George Washington students who are currently studying, working, or feel a passion for international Affairs and diplomacy.  As members of the International Affairs society, our staff is equipped with experience and knowledge within the realm of international relations and Model United Nations.  

GWCIA XIII will join the ranks of previous conferences and set a great precedent for the years to come.  The highly praised Joint Crisis Committee will return on the question of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  Additionally, the conference will include the UN Commission on Human Rights amongst the returning Regional Bodies and International Organization committees.  

I look forward to welcoming you to campus in the fall of 2008!  GWCIA XIII will be a great experience.  If you have any questions or ideas regarding the conference please feel free to email me at gwciaxiii@gmail.com.  

Warm Regards,
