The Afghan Students Association (ASA) aims to actively represent the voice and the interests of Afghan students at the University of Toronto Mississauga Campus. Our goal is to educate students about the culture and history of the Afghans and Afghanistan by organizing and hosting cultural, educational events aimed at raising awareness. Its goal is to embody student member interests, through the facilitation of alliances and dialogue between students and school administration and the community at large. We aim to promote academic freedom, student rights and equity by providing a safe space for the expression of the social, political, and cultural ideas, concerns and issues of Afghan students at the University of Toronto, Mississauga.
