Mission
The Cognitive Science Student Association (CSSA) supports the academic and professional endeavors of students involved in Cognitive Science at UC Davis.

As UC Davis’s only Cognitive Science community, CSSA aims to empower students by: Defining the field of Cognitive Science and what it means to be involved in the major, introducing students to the various fields and career paths in Cognitive Science, and facilitating connections between students and alumni/faculty/professionals in the field.

Most importantly, students of this community can interact and gain knowledge from each other's diverse experiences in this new and rapidly growing field.
