about cpssaThe Canadian Political Science Students Undergraduate Association (CPSSA) is run solely by undergradu-ate students from across Canada. Every January, the CPSSA holds a conference that allows students from across Canada to come together and share their knowledge and perspectives on themes within thediscipline of Political Science.

Schools bid to host the CPSSA National Conference each year, resulting in its rotation between universi-ties across the country, allowing undergraduates to converse on Political Science and connect with other Political Science students from across the nation in a different setting and with a new slate of speakers each time. In addition to the university planning committee, there is a Board of Directors made up from Political Science undergraduates as voted by participants at the CPSSA Annual General Meeting.

This year’s National Conference will take place in Vancouver, BC, from January 23 -27, 2013.
