Student Pugwash USA (SPUSA) is an educational, nonprofit organization that strives to add a dimension to academic study that goes beyond formulas and figures. Activities force young people to probe the reasons for scientific advancement and the implications of technology on citizens' everyday lives.

While examining all sides of an issue, SPUSA increases students' ability to think independently about the issues that affect society -- issues that range from international conflict to environmental protection, from genetics research to civil rights. SPUSA focuses on the interplay that lies at the juncture of science, technology, and public policy.

We are currently building our Student Pugwash Chapter. If you would like information on how to organize a group, please contact --- or SPUSA's national office at 1 800 969-2784. For more information on Student Pugwash, visit http://www.spusa.org/
