This Week: The Unstoppable Secular Student Alliance!

Share/Save

Mission Accomplished

Our annual conference was a complete success! A big thank you to all the students, volunteers, speakers, members and supporters for helping the SSA succeed! Despite derecho level storms, power outages, heat waves, and other unexpected twists last week, everything turned out well in the end.  We had about 300 attendees coming together and being empowered to become leaders in the secular movement. Together, we are a juggernaut of secular awesome.

Did you miss the conference? Well, there is always next year! We will have information about our 2013 conference early next year, so keep an eye out.

Jonathan founded  a campus discussion group, The Thomas Society, at The Ohio State University. This group focused on dialogue between Christians and atheists. Such discussions prompted the university to award The Thomas Society and SSA at OSU with a Multicultural Award. Because of this work, the national Secular Student Alliance asked him to be on their speaker’s bureau, the only Christian minister to hold this distinction.

Reason Rally 2012 (Presented by Secular Student Alliance at SUNY Cortland)

SSA at SUNYCortland

In March 2012, SSA at SUNY Cortland was able to attend the Reason Rally thanks to a Project Grant from the national SSA. This article summarizes the experiences of that event for the group.

We are the Secular Student Alliance @ SUNY Cortland. There were three of us in attendance: Dustin Taylor, Nicholas Gardner, and Erica Deretz. We attended the Reason Rally on March 24th and the American Atheist Convention on March 25th. We were interviewed by several different news organizations. We made an article in the Washington Post, and Dustin was even mentioned in another article criticizing the Rally.

This is what Dustin had to say about the weekend:
