After the difficult news that the 72nd CU Boulder Conference on World Affairs would be cancelled due to the COVID-19 mitigation efforts, our program committee (comprised of community and student volunteers) worked to produce five CWA sessions addressing these challenging times. CWA will host free, daily virtual CWA sessions April 6-10, 2020.

We're grateful to the 2020 CWA speakers and CU babyÖ±²¥app experts who have volunteered their time to participate in these panel discussions, all of which will be held online via Zoom. Attendees do not need to have installed Zoom on their device to participate in these sessions; anyone can access the sessions via a computer, smartphone, or tablet. Attendees can submit questions for the moderator via Zoom or YouTube.

All sessions will also be livestreamed to the  and available for viewing afterward.
