The Harvard International Relations Council (IRC) is the undergraduate student group on campus that serves as the principal liaison between the Center and Harvard undergraduates. The IRC promotes awareness and understanding of international affairs among undergraduates through a variety of programs, which include close collaborations with the Weatherhead Center and its Fellows. The Weatherhead Center provides the IRC with substantial funds for these events.

IRC Events and Activities

The IRC works with the Center to organize a fall open house, an international careers week, a human rights week, and symposia on contemporary issues in international relations. The IRC also organizes study groups and dinner talks by WCFIA Fellows and other international affairs practitioners on campus.
