Outreach Coordinator Jacquelyn VadnaisContact JacquelynHello everyone! I am a senior at the Elliott School majoring in International Affairs with a concentration in Eurasia, and have plans to attend law school after graduation. I am originally from San Diego, CA, and formerly attended the University of San Diego before transferring to George Washington University my junior year. I have lived abroad in Aix-en-Provence, France and am trilingual to date, speaking Spanish and French, with plans to learn Japanese, Portuguese, and Italian in my senior year. During Summer 2008, I worked at a Japanese international patent law firm in Washington D.C. At my former University, I served on our international affairs organization's executive board as the Community Service Outreach Coordinator. Additionally, in high school I helped found the Key club for my school. This year as your Outreach Coordinator I plan on organizing a large scale community service project that the IAS can lead and participate in. Also, I plan on networking within the GW campus and alumni community to increase overall involvement in the IAS. I'm excited to be your Outreach Coordinator and hope to have a great year! If you have any questions, feel free to come see me during my office hours, I would love to meet with you! GWUPIE Coordinator Kelsey KingContact KelseyHi, I am from Denver, Colorado, and I'm a sophomore in the Elliot School of International Affairs majoring in International Affairs with a concentration in European and Eurasian studies. For the 2008-2009 school year I am the Director of George Washington University’s Program for International Education. As GWUPIE director, I help IAS members teach students in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area about international affairs in innovative and exciting ways. If you are interested in international affairs, helping your community, and teaching students, than GWUPIE is for you. Please feel free to email me with any questions or comments you might have.

About OutreachDo you like kids? Do you love International Affairs and Model UN? Do you want to take part in helping make the world a better place? If you answer yes to any of these questions and you are looking to do rewarding activities, then the IAS Outreach program is for you! The goal of the Outreach program of the International Affairs Society is to spread knowledge and make people aware of international affairs while helping the community of Washington, DC and nearby areas. Therefore, by accomplishing this goal we help solve international problems by doing our small but steady share and encouraging other people to do the same. Although we help needy people and do fundraisers, we do not consider ourselves a community service program. We consider the Outreach program a way to put in practice all that we learn in the classrooms in a way that will have real results. The two main programs within Outreach are: Model UN Tutoring focuses mainly in the training of delegates to compete in Model United Nations (MUN) Conferences. This program focuses on helping students at local schools prepare for GWCIA, the conference IAS hosts in the fall. This year, however, we are expanding the program to also include training for GW students who want to attend our Model UN trips. GWUPIE (The GWU Program for International Education) focuses on teaching international affairs issues to the community, especially public school students. Generally, GWUPIE’s volunteers pick one topic for each semester, work together to write lesson plans, and then go out as pairs to teach one class, once a week, over five or six weeks. The Outreach program of the International Affairs Society at The George Washington University takes pride in the success of these and other programs. They have proved to be highly rewarding: participating students do not only help solve international problems like world hunger and ignorance, but they learn and grow as they leave their mark on kids and people with whom they come into contact. The people we help look at GW students as role models and see international affairs in a whole different way after coming in contact with the Outreach program. |
