ACADEMICS
Delta Phi Epsilon promotes academic excellence among our members by hosting many academic events. We strive to create a community where actives can feel intellectually stimulated and discuss areas of interest through open dialogue and by attending a variety of events.
Some of our staple events include:
Professor Coffee Chats: Past events have included professors such as Carol Wise, Steve Lamy, Jeffrey Fields, etc. Coffee Chats aim to give our members the opportunity to form closer connections with faculty and discuss topics such as their research, professional careers, or areas of expertise.
Current Events Discussions: These events are an opportunity for our members to come together and discuss a topic of interest within Foreign Affairs. These discussions are typically led by a few guiding questions or set up debate style granting everyone the opportunity to learn from our peers and gain new perspectives.
Academic Panels: DPE has partnered with dozens of individuals and organizations to provide educational panels for our members. From discussing pressing current events, to understanding how government agencies or intergovernmental organizations work, our panels aim to inform our members about these topics.
Below are past events we have hosted!
