JWAC isn’t just any club. It is comprised of many different activities that make it whole. There are parties, cultural foods and sharing stories.

JWAC , the Junior World Affairs Council,  helps others learn more about different cultures and their update news.

“I learn about different cultures that I otherwise would not have the opportunity to become knowledgeable on,” senior Megan Jones said. “It’s also nice to be caught up in world affairs in a straightforward fashion, because I don’t like to watch biased news stations.”

Aside from learning about cultures and eating food, JWAC also encourages students to join the academic competition “World Quest.”

“After you learn a lot of information about current events around the world, you go to UT Arlington to compete with other teams from other schools,” senior and JWAC officer Jeanie Chang said.

JWAC also hosts parties. As a club dedicated to learning different cultures, JWAC always has holiday parties where people bring food from their country, play games and talk about cultures.

“Last year’s Christmas party was super fun,” Jeanie said. “We made gingerbread cookies, turned on cultural music and danced.”

What makes JWAC distinctive from other clubs is that it doesn’t have a point system or attendance like other clubs do.

“We just provide food and hope everyone comes,” Jeanie joked. “We just try to get people interested in cultures and having fun.”

JWAC is a very lenient club, welcome to anyone at anytime. Club members learn many interesting facts from every country around the world.

“It’s been eye-opening, and helps you see the world in a bigger and broader perspective,” Jeanie said.

JWAC is a melting pot of cultures and ideas, and a way to experience the customs of other people.

“JWAC is a great way to experience the world right here at school,” Megan said.
