The Academic Committee balances the social side of EPU with the study-related side. Not only will the tasks of this committee include the organization of the annual EPU Conference, this committee is also in charge of organizing a series of additional lectures. Subjects can range from politics to popular culture, but are all connected to the Americas in some way. In short, this committee organizes extracurricular educational events, whether that be on current affairs or on things student find missing or undiscussed in our official Americas Studies program.
