The International Relations Club has several purposes for its existence and a variety of goals it wishes to achieve. The basic purpose of the club is to foster a greater interest and awareness in international affairs and issues, and to broaden students' geographic horizons, i.e. to get students to "think in international terms." To do this, the club sponsors events for the Saint Anselm College Community, including speakers, films, presentations, seminars, and other such activities that are related to, and of importance in understanding, the entire global community. While international politics plays an important role in international issues, this club does not intend to be only politically oriented.
