Embracing and Empowering all Nationalities in a Thriving Upstate

America and the World Lecture Series

The World Affairs Council Upstate, in partnership with Furman University, is pleased to announce the fifth of our 7-part monthly lecture series (part of our Distinguished Speaker programming). Join us on Wednesday, January 16 to learn more about the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union, triggering the worst political crisis the EU has ever faced. When the United Kingdom leaves, the EU will lose its largest military power, its second-largest economy, and its only truly global financial center. The United Kingdom stands to lose even more.
