Each semester, "What in the World is Going On?", examines current issues either through books, films or speakers. These events are planned and implemented by a committee made up of VCSU faculty and VC community members.

The current members of this group from VCSU are: Professors Richard Betting, Anthony Dutton, Gina Kelly, Kay Kringlie, and Julee Russell. Community members are: Pastor Ellen Arthur, Sharon Buhr, Greg and Ann Lewis, and Edie Betting.
