Junior State of America
JSA is the only completely student run club on campus, where students debate and discuss the most controversial topics that get students more involved in politics. We're all about expressing our opinions and beliefs and want students to find the love for debate we've all found. Come to any one of our meetings to debate, discuss, and learn about upcoming one day and overnight conventions.
