Student Conference on U.S. Affairs (SCUSA)
The Student Conference on U.S. Affairs (SCUSA) is an annual four-day conference hosted at the United States Military Academy at West Point. The purpose of the conference is to allow students to work with scholars and practitioners of foreign affairs to develop proposals that address important topics and issues in American foreign policy. SCUSA also provides the foundation for lasting civil-military relationships among future leaders in the military, government, and private sectors. Every year, Pi Sigma Alpha, Beta Pi sends delegations to SCUSA to develop professional skills and network with students and practitioners.
