Student Council on World Affairs

The Student Council on World Affairs (SCWA) was created in 1983 to advance campus and community awareness of different societies and cultures around the world and how they influence and are influenced by international relations among countries, including the United States.  SCWA has a long history of organizing symposia, presentations, films, and public lectures on current foreign and international issues on the Pitt-Johnstown campus, and participating in similar types of events at the University of Pittsburgh, especially those coordinated by the University Center for International Studies (UCIS), the Center for West European Studies (CWES), and the European Union Center (EUC).  SCWA members also participate in competitive intercollegiate Model United Nations and Model European Union simulations, and host a Model United Nations for regional high schools (Pitt-JohnstownMUN).
