Of main interest to me was how this information was orally presented. Public speaking and policy making go hand in hand, and this conference afforded me a firsthand opportunity on how to implement both.<\/p>\n<p>Trying to bring a new twist to my presenter skills, I discussed how climate change has impacted inhabitants living in the Arctic regions of the Canadian white north while looking at the possible seeds of conflicts which could arise between neighboring Arctic states. From U.S. &amp; Canadian military operations designed to claim Arctic territory while providing a strong and over-reaching national defence structure, the term \u201cCold War\u201d may have new meaning.<\/p>\n<p>As part of my graduate public affairs project, I hope to conduct area studies and research in the Canadian Arctic on these main policy issues. In retrospect, this conference provided me a look into utilizing new presentation skills while giving me an opportunity to meet with many other academic professionals dedicated to protecting and educating students about Canada\u2019s Arctic region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Funding for FLAS Fellowships is provided by a Center allocation from <\/i><i><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/programs\/iegpsflasf\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International and Foreign Language Education<\/a><\/i><i>, U.S. Department of Education.
