Summer Happy Hour with GlobalWA, WCAPS & World Affairs Council – Let’s Connect!
Event Description
Join GlobalWA for a relaxed and fun summer happy hour featuring our reciprocal members Women of Color Advancing Peace, Security, and Conflict Transformation (WCAPS) and the World Affairs Council (WAC). This is a great opportunity to unwind, make new connections, and learn more about the important work these organizations are leading in global affairs and equity.
Students (as long as you’re 21+), recent grads, and young professionals are all welcome as well as those with experience serving abroad, engaged in the field, and former career professionals. This is a great chance to meet others who care about Seattle’s global platform, build perspective about our work, and inspire (while simultaneously being inspired by) the next generation of global leaders.
