The 65th Conference on World Affairs Continues

CWA2013

This is the 65th Conference on World Affairs [CWA] held here in Boulder on campus and around town. This is truly a Boulder icon and CWA offers opportunities to engage and learn about a wide array of interesting topics. Today for instance you could attend the following:

  • Ebert Interruptus II: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Here is the second session where the group views the movie but anyone can stop the action and ask a question. It takes a long time to get through a movie, so joining on the second session is still early.
  • Understanding Cultures Through Art.
  • Stop Surviving, Start Thriving.
  • DIY: Making Stuff With Our Own Hands

These topics and many, many more are covered today through April 12, 2013. For more details, locations and times click here.
