As the culminating event for fall programming, the IRC 2011 Winter Reception is set to be the biggest gathering of the semester.

Tickets are $20 and can be purchased everyday until this Wednesday (12/07) in Red Square from 10 AM to 4 PM.
Ticket prices will increase to $25 at the door.

In celebration of the the holiday season, the IRC dedicates its last First Friday event of the fall semester to an Ugly Sweater Get Together. Dress in your most festive holiday attire and stop by Alumni Lounge to enjoy a selection of your favorite holiday treats from gingerbread cookies to eggnog to candy canes and hot chocolate.

Friday, November 18, Mai Thai Restaurant (3251 Prospect St. NW) Meet at the front gates at 5:30 pm

Inspired by the success of our last cultural dinner, we have chosen another Georgetown favorite for the next dinner in this series. Enjoy an afternoon of delicious Thai food while getting to know other members of the IRC at Mai Thai. Meet at the front gates at 5:30 pm on Friday, November 18 or feel free to join us at the restaurant located at 3251 Prospect St. NW.

Please RSVP to reserve your spot. Meal costs will be subsidized based on attendance.

It’s been a long time coming, but we’re back and ready for action! The world never stops to wait – With a new country born out of the heart of Africa, and famine at the continent’s edge, a revolution that dethroned a Libyan dictator, terrorists attacks from the Middle East to Norway, violent crackdowns in Syria, a downgrade of the world’s most reliable currency, youth riots in England, political turmoil in Japan, and an unprecedented Earthquake-Hurricane combo that smacked the American NorthEast, we enter this Fall semester in an environment of great international turbulence.

At the same time, we begin this year with tremendous enthusiasm about what lies ahead on campus. Surely, we’re eager about new classes, new rooms and roommates, and even long-awaited events like NCSC or NAIMUN, but we’re most excited about the people at Georgetown. To connect with new friends and reconnect with old ones, to learn about each other’s experiences abroad and at home, and most importantly to engage each other in the great dialogue that is needed to confront the challenges of our world.

The IRC will facilitate that dialogue, and we hope to give you the tools necessary to forge connections with friends, new and old. Upcoming events, including social gatherings, Model UN conferences and travelling competitions, speaker panels and debates and philanthropic initiatives will not only deliver a unique, interactive exposure to international affairs, but will provide you an opportunity for the time of your life with the people you will never forget.

Over the coming weeks and months, we will present a vast array of events, resources and opportunities to you. On behalf of the IRC leadership, I strongly urge you to take advantage of all that we offer, meet as many new people as you can, challenge them and learn from them. Immerse yourself not only in your studies, but also in this community of friends eager for new faces and new voices. Let us reignite the dialogue, and begin again the work of a legendary year ahead.

Dear Members of the International Relations Club,

It’s been a long time coming, but we’re back and ready for action!
