MSC Student Conference on National Affairs

The MSC Student Conference On National Affairs, or MSC SCONA, is the oldest student organization in the Memorial Student Center at Texas A&M University in College Station. In February 2026, the student-run organization will host its 71st conference and continue the legacy of building up future leaders to solve the problems of today and tomorrow. The SCONA Conference features notable national security speakers and roundtables on issues the United States is facing with subject-matter experts as facilitators and students from around the nation as delegates. The SCONA committee meets weekly to plan the annual conference, listen to speakers, and engage in professional development opportunities, such as resume workshops. There are numerous other social opportunities each month for members to engage in and build community through, like dinner outings or recreational sports leagues.
