Message to faculty? Global Affairs Club — please consider helping us

Dear faculty,

My name is Sarah Burkhard and I am the president of the Global Affairs Club.There are 2 important reasons I am approaching you; please consider helping us out with one or the other, if your schedule allows:

1) We are looking for a volunteer for a Q/A session at our next meeting, Thursday Feb 5, 10.00 – 10.30 am . The general theme is “The World This Year”. I picture students asking questions about global economy, upcoming challenges, shifts in power positions , elections etc.

2) We are looking for a faculty member to be our official supervisor at one of the upcoming events our club would love to attend.  Global Affairs

China’s emerging role in the Middle East is expanding in tandem with Beijing’s burgeoning economic, political, and to a lesser extent, military interests in the region.
