Princeton University Student Pugwash


Last updated 31 May 2000


Welcome to the home page of Princeton University Student Pugwash, the campus chapter of Student Pugwash U.S.A.. You may not have heard of Student Pugwash, so here’s the skinny: we are a non-partisan group devoted to examining the ethical, social, and global implications of science and technology. Student Pugwash U.S.A. is an affiliate of the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize-winning Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs. Our chapter’s activities range from lectures on campus to beach clean-ups, and from trips to such nearby facilities as the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory to an annual fall trip to the Student Pugwash USA National Conference in Washington, D.C.

So you want to get involved? If you would like to be informed of future events, would like to suggest an activity, or have any other questions or comments, please drop a line to pugwash@princeton.edu.
