About Us

 Overview:

The Arab Students Association (ASA) at Yale is an unaffiliated, non-profit, undergraduate organization that aims to spread a wakeful approach to understanding the Arab world, its culture, and current issues that affect the region. The ASA aims to work in an effort to bridge the various cultural gaps between the Arab World and the United States, in the hopes of promoting a mutual exchange of views and culture.
Through the active role of organizing a variety of political and social events, the ASA strives for the atrophy of stereotypes and the growth of a concrete and sincere representation of the Arab world’s diverse components. By creating a forum where Arabs, Arab-Americans, and the vast international community may interact, the ASA firmly believes that Yale serves as an opportune foreground to paint the cultural, political, and social realities of the Arab World for a genuinely interested wide-ranging audience.
