Organization Details for African Student Association

ASA? What does that stand for? Are there cars in Africa? Do you live in trees or huts? Many have been asked these and other such ridiculous questions. Initial reaction may be to take offense. But, when it is taken into consideration that many of these questions are meant not to offend, but of genuine curiosity, the reaction should be to educate. The African Students Association (ASA) of the Johns Hopkins University comprises a group of students of African and non-African decent dedicated to the education of the Hopkins community at large of the different cultures that comprise the African continent. ASA also provides a network of support for African students at Johns Hopkins. The African Students Association is a service as well as social organization which aims to rid misconceptions concerning Africa through education.
