Georgetown International Relations Club

The Georgetown International Relations Club (GIRC), one of the oldest and largest student organizations on the Georgetown University campus, came into being in 1923. Known first as the Current Affairs Club, and then renamed as the International Relations Club in 1932, the organization aims to offer its members and the University community opportunities for education and reflection on international affairs through engagement with expert sources and simulation of the international system through such activities as Model United Nations and other related programs. GIRC sponsors numerous lecture and discussion events on campus, provides staff for a variety of international affairs conferences and university programs, and operates one of the most successful competitive Model United Nations teams at the collegiate level.
