About Cincinnati Global

Our Group

Composition

A liquid association of around one dozen or so young people. Global is a registered student group at the University of Cincinnati and most of our conference activities do take place on campus. We are quite fortunate to have several key organizers from outside of the student body.

Purpose

Organizing conferences that bring together grand assortments of people in comfortable environments that facilitate and encourage: the sharing of skills and information, discussions and debates, increased awareness of global issues, participation in activism and eating free food.

Topics

Economic, social and political justice on a global scale. The effects of free trade agreements and ever-expanding corporate power on both workers and the environment. Our members typically hail from a variety of different perspectives and backgrounds. We are therefore unable to collectively support specific ideologies, philosophies, theories or political parties. Global has never been, and hopefully never will be, operated as a front group or recruitment center for any other organization.

Known Problems

Internet Explorer 5 for Mac renders the submit buttons on the participate and attend pages unusably small (CSS margin issue?). Internet Explorer 6 for Windows mishandles the navigation bar hover effect. Please switch to one of the substantially superior browsers mentioned above.
