55th Annual World Affairs Institute

Dear valued Rotary partner -

There is 1 week left to register your Interact Club or local high school group for the 55th Annual World Affairs Institute: The AI Effect on February 25, 2026 at Carnegie Mellon University.

Check out our featured speakers and register your group online by Thursday, February 12, at worldpittsburgh.org/institute. You can use this step-by-step registration guide to lead you through the registration process, including detailed information on how to pay by check.

We are also hosting lead-up activities to ensure that every student has the opportunity to explore the conference topic—The AI Effect—and feels prepared to fully engage in the conference workshops and discussions. All activities are FREE and open to all schools and Interact Clubs, even if they are unable to attend the Institute. School groups and individual high school students can sign up for conference lead-up activities via this form.

Thanks again to you and your Rotary Club for your continued support and partnership!

In partnership,
Betty Cruz
