The mission of the African Students Association is to advance political, social, cultural, and economic awareness about the African continent by engaging individuals in dialogue that will establish a deeper understanding and appreciation of the dynamic cultures within the continent.
The organization was founded in 2005. Since then, the organization has shared African culture and provided an affinity space for African students through African family groups, bi-weekly general body meetings or language tables, events such as Africa Week, the ASA Fashion Show, Gala Formal Events, the African Film Festival, and more!
