On behalf of the PSSA, have a great summer! We hope that you are able to rest and stay safe this summer season.

As public health orders are constantly changing, we have decided to wait until later this summer to hold elections for our 2021-2022 executive team, in order to see whether classes will be online in the fall. If you are interested in an executive position, please let us know, more information will be coming soon! Check back with us in a few months, we look forward to the upcoming year!
