Past Events


The Michigan Chapter of CPSR exists primarily as a "virtual chapter"; most of our activity and interaction occurs in cyberspace, through our e-mail list and web conference. We have no regular "physical" meetings scheduled.

However, from time to time, we may get together for meetings of particular interest to members of the group. (If you have an idea for such a meeting, please suggest it!)
