The Carolina Forum for Ethics will further the objectives of the Parr Center through the facilitation of informed, nonpartisan inquiry about ethical matters as well as thoughtful engagement with both the ‘Big Questions’ and the most pressing issues of our day. We will accomplish this through discussions, guest speakers, films, and other events. We are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment open to all students, staff, and faculty.

PWADA serves to connect PWAD majors with alumni and other professionals in the fields of national security, defense, intelligence, and international affairs. Members of the PWADA gain access to career information provided from PWAD alumni and other professionals in the fields of national security, intelligence, defense, and international affairs. We have alumni who routinely offer to look over resumes and cover letters in addition to answering career related questions our members have. Our vision is to establish a student-alumni network in which we can connect current students with PWAD graduates.
