Mission The purpose of the South Asian Students Association shall ultimately be to cultivate leaders who will strive to maximize the potential, increase the awareness, and preserve the legacy of all South Asians. This purpose will be achieved by not only raising awareness of social, political, and cultural issues relevant to South Asians, but by also providing the opportunity to actively address these issues. The efforts of this organization shall be inclusive to all within the DePaul community.DePaul SASA has and continues to closely align with DePaul University's mission for over twenty years! We foster an inclusive community with international and national students that promotes cultural understanding, social justice, and respect for diverse perspectives. Through our events and programs, SASA provides a platform for DePaul students to learn about and engage with South Asian culture, traditions, and social issues, enriching the campus community’s global awareness. We aim to create a welcoming environment for students from all backgrounds, reflecting DePaul's dedication to inclusivity and the celebration of diverse identities. Our events, such as cultural celebrations, panel discussions with South Asian Chicagoans, and educational opportunities, are designed to promote values of compassion, community, and respect—core elements of DePaul’s mission. SASA also supports students’ personal and social growth by connecting them to cultural resources and a supportive network of peers ranging from Chicago community organizations to the APIDA room in the Levan center. We are committed to upholding the university’s mission of preparing students to work for the common good, embodying Vincentian values of service and justice, and contributing to a vibrant, culturally rich campus environment. We respectfully request your support in re-approving SASA, so we may continue our work of enhancing cultural awareness, promoting unity, and contributing to DePaul’s mission-driven community! Thank you for your time and consideration.
