Get Involved!!!

On behalf of the University of Michigan Muslim Students Association, I'd like to welcome you all once more to the beginning of what should be a beneficial and productive year inshaAllah. Alhamdulilah we were glad to see the turnout at our Mass Meeting last Thursday. There, students had the opportunity to sign up for committees they wish to join and help out with. Below is the list of MSA committees, we encourage you all to join up. This is a great opportunity for us all to take the first step to making a difference! Hope to see you all inshaAllah.

Community Affairs

Basically, C-Affairs has 3 types of activities:

1. Many, many one-time collaborative activities with diff orgs
- i.e. Detroit Partnership's DP Day, Relay for Life, K-Grams Kids Fair, and any others you want to do.

2. A few strong, large-scale events from ourselves-1st one being IROD (ongoing until the end of Ramadan) and the 2nd being Fastathon (COMING UP SOON) and the other ones after are up to you.

3. Other projects/programs of our own (possibly working with other orgs)

- Trying to get halal foods in dorms, tutoring (ages: elementary through high school), Alternative Weekends, VIEW, a trip to [you-tell-me], etc

NOTE: Everything is tentative --depends on how many ppl get involved! And if there is anything else inyour community (the Michigan, the Muslim, the US, the [whatever other]community) that you want to work on, bring it up!
