Global Horizons

World Oregon International Speaker Series

Since its founding as the World Affairs Council of Oregon in 1950, WorldOregon has worked to provide a platform for deeper understanding of world affairs. As stated in its mission, WorldOregon programs keep Oregonians connected to the people, places, and ideas that are shaping our shared global future.

Through Global affairs, OSU is proud to be a WorldOregon sponsor. We are pleased to share the lineup for the 21st Annual International Speaker Series. This year's theme: Changing Course.
