some extent through the Council's briefing programs.  These include regular briefing programs in our office as well as 
briefings that can be presented to civic organizations, schools and businesses.

The International Student Briefing Program connects students at local universities with audiences in our communities through informal receptions and briefings designed to share insights into the students' home countries.  The briefings may be at the TN WAC office or at a civic organization, school or business.  The students may address a number of issues related to their home lands such as history, culture, art, political life, relations with the United States, etc.  The TN WAC will organize a regular schedule of briefings but you can also contact the office to learn of other opportunities and needs that can be met through the Council's contacts.  Check the individual listing for more information.  Space may be limited so reservations are suggested and you should check the web site on the day of the briefing to confirm the date and time.
