SCONA
STUDENT CONFERENCE ON NATIONAL AFFAIRS
“THE EXPRESSION OF INDIVIDUALITY IN AMERICAN SOCIETY”
SCONA
CONCEPT
The belief that a con
cerned and informed
citizenry will be better
equipped to deal with the
problems facing the United
States, coupled with the ab
sence within most university
curricula of a mechanism to
encourage interest in na
tional issues, led to the es
tablishment in 1955 of the
Student Conference On Na
tional Affairs (SCONA).
Since its founding, SCONA
has been an annual three
and one half day program at
Texas A&M University. It
provides an opportunity to
discuss issues of national
concern for students repre
senting universities
throughout the United
States, Canada and Mexico.
In addition it gives them an
opportunity to listen to and
meet with nationally recog
nized spokesmen on these
issues.
The Conference format
has been carefully struc
tured to encourage open
discussion and the free ex
change of ideas. Each year
a broad Conference theme
is selected. Recognized na
tional spokesmen are cho
sen to provide contrasting
viewpoints on the selected
Conference theme. Dis
cussions of the speeches
and related areas are the
emphasis of Round Table
sessions composed of eigh
teen students and two Co-
Chairmen who serve to
stimulate and direct dis
cussions.
