Harvard–Radcliffe Science Fiction Association
The Harvard–Radcliffe Science Fiction Association (HRSFA) is the undergraduate science fiction association at
Ig Nobel awards[1] and organizes Vericon,[2] an annual science fiction convention; and it intermittently publishes Fusion, a speculative-fiction literary magazine. Other events held by HRSFA include the Wyld Hunt,[3] Going of the Hour,[4] and Masquerade Ball.[5] It is sometimes cited as an example of a social organization whose parties and events do not focus upon drinking, and has gained attention for this role as Harvard tries to move towards greater social opportunities for its students.[6] Its alumni network, HRSFANS, organizes reunion events and provides grants to enable undergraduate members to accept internships in the speculative fiction publishing industry
