MIDDLE EASTERN STUDENT ASSOCIATION

The aim of the Middle Eastern Student Association is to bring cultural and historic awareness to the public in regards to the Middle East and its relations with other countries, be it Muslim or Christian, Catholic, Orthodox, Jewish or any other religious belief. The Middle East is a sector of the world that is enriched with history, culture and spirituality, yet has been an area misunderstood as well. Our goal as an organization, a multicultural one that is, is to divorce ourselves from differences. Our aim is to celebrate diversity and embrace each other’s culture, language, history and heritage. Our desire is to heighten the awareness of others and call for a unified and more accepting community. We want to educate people about the beauty of this very intriguing and imperative region.
