Global Concerns (GC) are conferences organized by the staff and students at the College. There are four GC conferences every two years, each addressing a particular significant global issue revolving around the following four broad themes:

  • Humanitarian
  • Environmental
  • Nordic
  • Other

GCs attempt to use guest speakers, workshops, projects, etc. to broaden and deepen the understanding of participants of a particular issue. Examples of some GC topics are: Religion, Women’s Issues, Power and Leadership, HIV & AIDS.
