Student Clubs and International Affairs

Participation in on- and off-campus cocurricular activities enhances the students' international affairs education and offers opportunities to apply knowledge gained in the classroom to real-world international problems and issues. Students are encouraged to work with SGA-sponsored organizations and clubs in conjunction with academic departments and programs to recruit, fund, and host guest speakers who bring to campus needed expertise in specialized areas of international relations.

African Heritage Awareness

The African Heritage Awareness Club intends to increase awareness of the African cultural practices and diaspora by sharing knowledge among the Skidmore and Saratoga Springs community via discussions, events, talks, performances, workshops and focus weeks. More so, we hope to breach the underrepresentation of Africa in academics as well as sponsor African and Caribbean charities.
