About Us

The Muslim Students Association is an organization that serves the needs of Muslim students and their community. In addition to this, the MSA also helps educate Muslims and non-Muslims about Islam. Muslims come from a variety of backgrounds and belief systems, so many different groups are represented under the MSA without fragmentation, as it is said in the Qur’an: “And hold fast all together by the rope which God stretches out for you and be not divided amongst yourselves.” (3:103)

As an organization, the MSA takes that verse to heart in that it acts as a base for students to come together to form a community and to grow as individuals. We are not just another club on campus–we are a support system. We foster leadership and motivation among our members and we stand behind the issues that face students on campus. The MSA does not act as a biased and secluded organization, but rather seeks to benefit all students on campus by helping to build a more tolerant and educated society. So whether you come to every meeting or just a few, or whether you attend every event or just read about them in the newspaper, we would love to have you with us.
