TO PAY attention THIS IS OUR endless and PROPER Mary Oliver WORK. BOULDER www.theacademyboulder.com 970 Aurora Avenue | Boulder, Colorado Welcome Welcome to the 71st CU Boulder Conference on World Affairs! This week, over 100 speakers and performers representing 19 countries will gather on the CU Boulder campus to share their observations, their music, their movies, and more with our audiences . Many of your favorite contributors are returning to the CWA, and more than 60% of this year’s speakers are new to us, so give our first-time guests a warm welcome! The 71st CU Boulder CWA is the most diverse yet . Half of our speakers this year are women, and all of our speakers are sure to bring a wide array of perspectives and life experiences to their conversations . From left: Margaret Hollingsworth, CWA Program Committee Chair/Vice We’re excited this year to offer a Tuesday through Chair, Laurie Hathorn, CWA Community Chair, John Griffin, CWA Faculty Director Saturday schedule, one component of our broader Photo by Casey A. Cass/University of Colorado Boulder effort to make the CWA more accessible to those who are working or attending school on weekdays . This is sure to be an adjustment for all of us (yes, the Jazz Concert is on Wednesday, not Tuesday, night), but we hope that the change will be well worth it . Please let us know what you think of the new schedule, and any other feature of the CWA, by completing our audience survey on the CWA app or website . Our core themes this year are 1) Disruptive Technology, 2) Design for Life, and 3) Women and Girls Changing the World. You will find a concentration of speakers and panels addressing these themes. We hope you will also be delighted by the wide variety of other topics on offer at CWA 2019. As we look forward to a special week, we thank all those so committed to making the CWA a success each year: the CWA office team, our student and community volunteers, our University partners, and the corporate, foundation, and individual donors who contribute so generously to the Conference . We hope you enjoy a wonderful CWA Week!
