We hope everyone is transitioning well this year! The SUSSA will have a table set up at the Organizational Fair, located in the midway on Wednesday, August 31 from 4:00 - 6:30pm. Come talk to Hannah or Adam for information about the club.

We would like to have enough members to engage in discussion-style meetings on topics like religion, science, skepticism, etc. SUSSA hasn't been overly active the past few years, so the group will be a compilation of ideas of all the members.
