International Relations / Foreign Policy Group – Columbus Inaugural Meetup
Details
Welcome to the inaugural meeting of the International Relations / Foreign Policy Group Columbus!
This group brings together students, professionals, academics, and anyone interested in global affairs, diplomacy, and geopolitics.
Our first meetup will be an informal discussion focused on current international developments and global trends. This is a great opportunity to:
• Meet others interested in international relations and foreign policy
• Discuss current global events and geopolitical developments
• Exchange perspectives and ideas in a respectful environment
• Build a network of globally minded individuals in Central Ohio (Columbus and periphery)
Discussion topics may include:
- Strategic planning for the group and the way forward
- US foreign policy priorities in 2026
- Major geopolitical developments (Europe, Asia, Middle East)
- Global security and strategic competition
- International economic and diplomatic trends
No prior expertise is required—everyone is welcome, whether you're a student, professional, or simply interested in world affairs.
This will be a casual, friendly, and intellectually engaging conversation.
I look forward to meeting everyone and building a strong international relations / foreign policy community in Central Ohio.
