General Meeting & Information Session WELCOME! BIENVENUE! Foreign Affairs Council of Glendon 2016 – 2017 Conseil des Affaires Étrangères de Glendon General Meeting & Information Session WELCOME! BIENVENUE!

Who we are? What we do! The Foreign Affairs Council of Glendon is an organisation that aims to provide Glendon students with the utmost opportunity to prepare for a future career in foreign affairs or governmental and non-governmental organisations. This recently established group will feature diplomatic divisions which will consist of various organisations that students will be able to join depending on their specialization and areas of interests. These will include the likes of Glendon NATO and the Glendon African Union among others, and will feature world-renowned simulations that are open to all students. The main goal for every student in the FACG is to attend a diplomatic simulation, where their skills can be put to the test in a simulated diplomatic setting. This organisation is run by experienced students, whose specializations will assist their younger peers in achieving the most substantive and successful results, both on a personal and intellectual level.
