Michigan Foreign Policy Council (MFPC)
Michigan Foreign Policy Council (MFPC) is an undergraduate think tank comprised of innovative and dedicated students who strive to promote foreign policy solutions through non-partisan research. Since its inception, MFPC's primary goal has been to produce significant scholarly research that contributes to the field of knowledge. In addition to research, the organization is focused on discussing and civically debating pertinent foreign policy issues, as well as fostering the next generation of foreign policy leaders. MFPC holds a foreign policy panel that brings together leading figures in academia, government, and the private sector. At the end of each semester, members present their findings at the Michigan Foreign Policy Conference and their pieces are published in the Michigan Foreign Policy Review.
Michigan Journal of International Affairs (MJIA)
MJIA was founded as a completely student-run, undergraduate publication at the University of Michigan. Each semester, MJIA publishes opinion-based pieces pertaining to international affairs in the areas of politics, history, economics, and culture. Writers author pieces across five different regions (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East) and are actively involved in the entire process, from editing to final distribution. MJIA also serves as a platform for discussions concerning global affairs, and every year the Journal organizes panel meetings to analyze a specific international issue from the past few months.
