SCUSA is a 4-day conference held annually at The United States Military Academy at West Point. The purpose of the conference is to facilitate interaction and constructive discussion between student delegates in order for them better understand the intricacies of the challenges that the United States faces in a global society. The product is a policy proposal to be shared with the rest of the conference and beyond through a new partnership with the Undergraduate Journal of Social Sciences.

In accordance with tradition, SCUSA 62's theme was selected to incorporate examination of an issue that affects both the United States and the rest of the world. This year's theme is "Reconsidering American Hegemony: Facing 21st Century Challenges and the Limits of U.S. Force and Power."
