Welcome back Old Members, and Hello New Members!
PASA is BACK in session! We have some wonderful events and opportunities coming up this semester for students looking to fall back in with PASA or freshmen interested in becoming a part of our team. First on the agenda is our General Interest Meeting (GIM)-- THIS FRIDAY at 5:30 pm in Gowen Room (located beside Hirst Lounge before the staircase that leads to the Pit)! We'll see you there!
What is PASA?
Mission Statement:
The Pan-African Students Association (PASA) at the University of Rochester aims to promote a greater understanding of African culture among all students both African and non-African, regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, or religion.
Vision Statement:
“Living is the intention. What makes a life worth living is having a purpose, an aim.”
PASApikin is a group of general members looking to get more involved who contribute ideas, plan initiatives, and help shape the overall member experience within PASA. Guided by the Freshman Reps, this board serves as a space for new members to get involved, build leadership skills, and bring fresh perspectives to PASA's events and outreach.
