Our Mission

Founded in 1969, the Georgetown International Relations Association is a student-run 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to promoting youth education in International Relations, from the day students enter kindergarten to their college graduation ceremonies.

The National Collegiate Security Conference is our flagship conference for collegiate students: for 52 years, we’ve brought together students from all over the world to engage in modern, realistic, security-focused diplomatic debates. Each year, students have the opportunity to visit D.C.-based sites for committee excursions, hear from experts and professionals during committee events, hone their research and public speaking abilities in committee, and spend a memorable weekend in the United States’ capitol.

Last year, NCSC was ranked the #1 fall conference. We pride ourselves on continuing to improve and expand our conference, with innovative committees that push the envelope on what security means. Our experienced staffers curate a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere and cannot wait to run the best NCSC yet this Fall.
