All program design and speaker selection is done by the CWA Program Committee. The committee is comprised of CU students and Boulder community members, all who volunteer their time to produce the event.
The Conference on World Affairs was originally titled "United Nations Week" as it celebrated the birth of the UN. The flags lining Norlin Quad during the conference represent the UN, and are symbols of the CWA's international scope.
Read the program from the first ever Conference on World Affairs held in 1948 on the CU Boulder campus; 12 events were held.
Among the attendees at the 1968 CWA was American architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller. See his biography in the 'Who Is Who".
