For Harvard undergraduates only.
Harvard undergraduates concentrating in the social sciences and interested in learning about issues in US foreign and international affairs may apply to participate in the annual Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference (NAFAC) in Annapolis, Maryland, along with other undergraduates from all over the United States. The three-day conference typically takes place in April, and brings together over 150 students to participate in roundtable discussions. Delegates work together to design solutions to many different domestic and international issues.
This year’s Conference explores the topic, "Where Power Lies: The Development of Civil-Military Relations in a New World Order." The topic explores how the relationship between the military and society impacts a country's functionality, its ability to interact with other countries and achieve its international goals, and finally how the use of technology/AI can affect the development of civil-military relations.
For more information on the Naval Academy and the conference, please visit the NAFAC website.
