We are the African Students’ Associations of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, otherwise known as MIT Africans or ASA. We bring African culture to the MIT community, and we foster a community of diverse students with an interest in African culture and ongoing activities.
We aim to provide a learning environment for anything African related; to increase awareness about Africa and Africans among MIT students; showcase the various aspect of the African culture such as ways of life, food, music, and clothing; to assist new MIT members in adjusting to the MIT lifestyle, and to present Africa from the African perspective.
