Getting a Global Perspective

Stuff We Love
Sept. 14, 2024

Though it certainly dominates our media feeds, the U.S. election isn’t the only big thing happening in the world. Northern Michigan is lucky to have the Traverse City International Affairs Forum—operating through Northwestern Michigan College—to bring experts in world events to our small corner of the planet. They recently announced their fall schedule, which includes The Gaza Catastrophe: Is There an Endgame? (Sept. 18), Putin’s Provocations: Threats to Global Security (Sept. 19), Global Migration and the Southern Border (Oct. 9), and The Energy Landscape Amidst Climate Change (Nov. 14). All of the above offer in-person and online admission ranging from $10-$15 (free for students, educators, and IAF members) at Milliken Auditorium in the Dennos Museum Center.
