Website

PASA (Pan African Student Association) was founded few years ago at the University of Rochester.

The main purposes of the association and thus, this page is to bring cultural, political, artistic and economic awareness about the African continent. The Pan African Student’s Association (PASA) is a student-run socio-cultural organization. The organization was created to :
Foster a culturally diverse environment and reinforce unity among its members - and ALL students at large - regardless of their individual race, ethnicity, religion, etc. Promote a greater understanding of the African Continent and its diverse cultures and traditions. Encourage and support cultural, academic, social and athletic activities at the University of Rochester. Welcomes and assist incoming African students to the University of Rochester in cooperation with the International Students Office (ISO). We also create opportunities where members can give back to the University of Rochester community through volunteering and other community services.
