Asalamu Alaikum Everyone!
I hope everyone had a wonderful summer! I know it went by super fast, but this year MSA has some great events planned to make this year go just as fast!
First off, WELCOME to all our freshmen and transfers! You made the right choice choosing Vanderbilt and an even better choice joining the Muslim Student Association! To everyone else, WELCOME BACK!
We've got a great year to look forward to! Our goal this year is to create a strong Muslim community and presence on Campus. The MSA is here to advocate for your needs so if you have any suggestions, concerns, or advice let us know here. Best of luck on this school year!
