Founded by students at the University of Texas at Austin dedicated to exploring some of the world’s most divisive issues, the International Affairs Society has become an integral part of the UT student organization environment and a place of learning outside of the traditional classroom setting. For years, our organization has presented students the welcoming, open-minded atmosphere needed for fostering a passion for learning about, debating over, and discussing current events that impact not only the world directly around them, but the lives of millions of people globally as well.
