SONA was inaugurated in 1999 as the North American Student Forum for undergraduate and graduate students. It serves as a framework for student-led cooperation across national boundaries.

SONA fosters student awareness and personal involvement in North American regional collaboration. We are a student community promoting cross-cultural relations, respect and understanding across Canada, the United States and Mexico. We are a non-governmental, politically independent and non-profit organization open to students - graduate and undergraduate - from all academic programs. Students administer and run all SONA activities, including its conference.

SONA’s 11th conference will be held in conjunction with CONAHEC's 16th North American Higher Education Conference. Undergraduate and graduate students from all programs are invited to participate in this exciting event for students, organized by students.
