A Few Words from the President and Vice President

It is a firm belief of mine that as Africans, we have a rich heritage in culture and traditions. It is my desire to showcase the diverse culture and traditions that both separate one African from another and yet join us to make us one. This years ASA will focus on the political issues plaguing the African continent, it will be a fountain of knowledge as well as a social place where Africans can gather to listen to African music and get to know one another on campus. It is our job to create a love for Africa, first in ourselves, and then to the rest of the world.

-Diana Senyana, President

This school year my primary focus is to strengthen the relations between African students and students of the African Diaspora. In addition, I would also like to increase the awareness of African issues on campus, provide career and leadership opportunities to our members, and strengthen ties between students, alumni, and African business professionals. If you have never joined ASA, this is the year to do so because we are taking OVER!

-Oluwatooni (Tooni) Akanni, Vice-President
