Applications are officially open for the 19th Korea–America Student Conference (KASC 19) — a three-week academic and cultural exchange connecting college students from Korea and the United States.

Next summer, delegates will travel from San Francisco to New Orleans to Washington, D.C., exploring this year’s theme: Navigating the Future of the Korean–American Relationship in a Fracturing Global Landscape.

Through four student-led roundtables, delegates will examine the questions shaping diplomacy, innovation, and cooperation today:

Cultural Diplomacy, Art, Media & Soft Power — How do creative industries build understanding across borders?

💼 International Business & Economics — What does economic interdependence look like in an era of uncertainty?

⚡ Energy Policy & Nuclear Cooperation — How can collaboration power a sustainable future?

💡 Technology & Artificial Intelligence — What does responsible innovation look like between allies?

KASC is designed and led entirely by students, creating space for dialogue and discovery across cultures. If you know a student who is curious, globally engaged, and eager to lead, encourage them to apply.
