Atheist and Agnostic (A+) Forum: A project of Portland State University
A+ is a student organization focused on building support and community for non theistic students at Portland State University and advocating for their interests. Regular meetings through out the year provide an opportunity to get to know fellow non believers and discuss topics of interest, while special lectures and social events give us an opportunity to explore the wider world and share ideas.
