1. Welcome to the World Affairs Council’s 58th Conference at Asilomar.
We look forward to joining you in this beautiful setting to learn from the speakers, to contribute
to the discussion, and to enjoy the many social activities that are planned.
This year’s conference will examine the United States’ role in the 21st century, a particularly
apropos subject during this election year. At the outset, we will present contrasting viewpoints of
U.S. foreign policy and their implications. We will also examine how the world views the United
States and contrast that with how Americans see themselves. Topics to be discussed over the
course of the weekend will include the United States’ involvement in nation building, the role of
the United Nations, and our country’s role in the global economy. We will also consider the con-
ditions under which Americans are willing to support the projection of American military power
abroad. The conference will conclude on Sunday with a discussion of how to reach a consensus
on the proper leadership role for the United States in the years and decades ahead.
Over 100 students and teachers will be participating in this year’s conference, thanks to the gen-
erosity of our donors, whom you will recognize by the red apples on their nametags. If you are a
student or teacher, we urge you to introduce yourself to the donors and thank them for making
your Asilomar experience possible.
We are grateful to the volunteer efforts of so many of you serving as moderators for the plenaries
and breakout sessions and as hosts for our numerous social events. Moreover, we thank our
speakers for taking time off from their busy schedules to spend the weekend with us.
This weekend represents a long tradition for the World Affairs Council and Asilomar. We are
fortunate to have you with us to contribute to this legacy. Whether you are an expert leading a
discussion of your life’s work or a student learning about U.S. foreign policy for the first time,
we are glad to have you with us and look forward to meeting you over the course of the weekend.
Sincerely yours,
Tom Campbell Jane Wales
Chairman of the Board President & CEO

16. 16 THE SCHOOLS PROGRAM
Asilomar and the Education Fund
— An Investment in the Future
Thanks to your generous contributions to the Council’s Education Fund, the Schools Program is able to
ensure that students and their teachers benefit from the same first-rate public programming that helps our
members maintain a vital connection with the world around them. Scholarship recipients attend regular
Council events and often get the opportunity to speak directly with our speakers. Recent scholarship recipi-
ents have met with such influential figures as Ann Cooper, Executive Director of the Committee to Protect
Journalists; Philippe Kirsch, President of the International Criminal Court; and Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize
winning economist. The Schools Program also presents students with the opportunity to spend a semester
studying overseas through the Youth for Understanding program and to attend the Council’s Annual
Conference at Asilomar. Thanks to you, over 4,450 students have attended Asilomar throughout the 58-
year history of the conference. These students have gone on to careers in diplomacy, politics, business, and
education. Many are now members of this Council and other Councils throughout the United States, and
some have even gone on to serve as members of our staff and Board of Trustees.
Nine years ago, the Schools Program began awarding Asilomar scholarships to teachers. Since then, over
140 educators have attended the Conference on scholarship, and an estimated 15,000 students per year
benefit from their teachers’ participation in this rich professional development experience. This year, we
have encouraged high school students and teachers to apply in teams in order to enhance the learning expe-
rience. As a result, the majority of high school students at this year’s conference will be attending in the
company of their teachers.
The ten teachers and eighty students receiving scholarships to this year’s Conference will add unique per-
spectives to the discussions taking place throughout the weekend. Listen for their questions during the ple-
nary sessions and for their remarks in the workshops. We invite you to talk with them during receptions
and meals—they are eager to learn from you.
A perfect opportunity to speak with scholarship recipients will be presented at the Saturday luncheon for
Education Fund donors and scholarship recipients. Donors and recipients will meet at specially marked
tables in the Crocker Dining Room for lunch and conversation. In the course of this hour, new friendships
will be forged, career advice will be given, and a lively discussion of Conference topics will take place. This
year’s luncheon will also feature WorldQuest, a game designed to build global awareness and bring together
groups of teachers, students, and community leaders—an experience not to be missed!
It is not too late to donate to the Education Fund and take part in this special luncheon. You can make a
contribution by dropping off your check at the Conference registration in the Administration Building. In
return, we will place an apple sticker on your name badge, which signifies that you have joined a special
group of Council donors who have made an investment in the future and in the world.
