The World Affairs Club is a new student club at Northwood. Founded and run by Sydney Kuder ‘25 and Cecilia Keller ’25, a group of FIS ski girls who hope to bring attention to important events happening in the world to our campus.
“We want to inform students on what’s going on in the world around them from a source they can trust, they’re fellow students,” said Keller. “We believe that if young people are properly educated on current events, they will feel empowered to provoke change in the world.”
Kuder and Keller realized last year that few Northwood students had much knowledge of the important global events happening around the world, and they wanted to change this.
The World Affairs club has already gathered a small group of participants who are a part of the group. Leo Doyle ’25 is one of the club’s members. “I think that this new addition is going to be great for the students to branch out and gain knowledge of current events in a fun and safe place,” Doyle said.
One of the club’s goals is to make news broadcasts every week and share them with the Northwood Community to try and enhance student’s awareness of current events in this world.
“I think this club will be a very positive addition to the Northwood community. The school tends to be organized by sport, but this club will help students branch out and connect worldwide, which we think is beneficial.”
The World Affairs club is creating a platform to allow students to explore the issues they feel are most important and engage with their peers in a safe environment to create change in their world.
