Join fellow international students for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to network, share opinions, and visit the prestigious Naval Academy in beautiful Annapolis, MD!

The Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference (NAFAC) has been held annually since 1960. The conference is a mix of speeches and panels featuring high-ranking military and civilian leaders, as well as discussion roundtables and social events. Past speakers have included former U.S. Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. At discussion sessions, delegates will have the opportunity to react to speeches, meet other delegates, and guide conversations by sharing ideas on many subtopics related to the conference theme. Around 1-3 international delegates will be assigned to each roundtable, along with student delegates from civilian and military institutions from around the United States.

One To World’s delegation plays a special role in this foreign affairs conference. By adding a critical international perspective to student deliberations on U.S. foreign policy, they enrich the conference with various national and cultural perspectives, as well as their academic experience. In turn, American undergraduate conference participants and midshipmen from the Naval Academy share their cultural, political, and social views with One To World’s delegates in an exciting academic intercultural exchange.

The NAFAC fee is $200. This fee covers the registration fee, round-trip transportation from NYC, accommodations, and most meals. Delegates are responsible for any spending money they may require for souvenirs, snacks or other items. Possible sponsorships are available.
