SEDS, the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space, is a group dedicated to expanding the role of human exploration and development of space. We seek to educate the public in such a way as to attain this goal. We have many ways of doing this, including educational outreach, conferences, and chapter projects.
SEDS Launches its Endowment Fund campaign, an ambitious plan to raise $300,000 to place in a mutual fund. The interest of this fund will be used to fund the activities of SEDS for years to come and help establish SEDS as a truly stable organization. For the full press release, please see:

SEDS has recently been publicly criticized by Keith Cowing, author of the popular space blog
http://www.NASAwatch.com for not properly utilizing our Advisor Board.

With this criticism SEDS proudly joins the company of dozens of other space agencies and organizations whose errors have been spotlighted on NASAwatch.com.
