Arab Student Association (ASA) at SIPA
Graduate students interested in critically analyzing political, economic, social and developmental issues in the Arab World; promoting its culture, and enhancing opportunities for future cooperation.
ASA aims to foster, promote and represent the Arab narrative while interacting and collaborating with academic, private and public organizations interested in the Arab World; and creating a space for dialogue among students, faculty, communities, organizations, corporations, governments and other actors interested or involved in the region.
ASA welcomes students from all ethnicities, nationalities and backgrounds who are at SIPA; and we look to collaborate and build solidarity with other organizations on and off campus. We also encourage participation from other graduate schools, undergraduate students and the larger Columbia community.
