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.

Events and Activities

The IRC's program, International Relations on Campus (IRoC), is responsible for the IRC's outreach on campus. IRoC is the only undergraduate group whose main purpose is to promote the discussion and awareness of international affairs on campus. IRoC collaborates with the Weatherhead Center to plan events on campus including a fall open house, an international relations week, and symposia on contemporary issues in international relations. In addition, IRoC organizes study groups, and dinner talks with Weatherhead Center Fellows and other international affairs practitioners on campus.
