The World Affairs Council of Charlotte (WACC)
was founded in 1983 as an outreach
program of
UNC Charlotte
and its
Office of International
Programs. As a non-profit, non-partisan organization, it
is supported by private funding from
individual and corporate member dues
and contributions. As a regional
center for education and discussion
of world affairs, the Council seeks
to provide leadership for global
thinking, believing that a broad
perspective is necessary for
effective competition in the global
economy and for responsible
citizenship in an increasingly
interdependent political world. For
more information, please go to

The WACC internship program
hopes to offer
students an enjoyable and unique
learning experience supporting
international education programming
in the greater Charlotte area.
Our
goal is that you gain practical
skills and lifelong experiences that
will be helpful to you in the
future.
