The SASA E-Board had an amazing time learning about mental health with @mannmukti and @saheliboston. Here are some of the posters from the group activities. There were a variety of opinions, answers and feelings written on the post-it stamps by students.
We gained a lot from the interactive presentations and activities. We received a tremendous amount of positive feedback, so we hope to make this an annual event! 🧠🥰

Hello everyone!
We hope everyone is having a restful and lovely break. School is starting up again soon which means we have some updates for y’all on what SASA is planning for this semester.
~SASA GENERAL BODY MEETING~
First, we will be having our Spring General Body meeting on January 30th from 7-9 pm in the Campus center Room. 804-08. Our organization is comprised of students of South Asian descent as well as those who wish to acquire a better understanding of the culture. Be sure to come to get to know more about SASA and bring your friends!
~SASA& PSO FORMAL~
Second, SASA and PSO formal is quickly approaching! This is our semi-annual formal event, which will consist of South Asian appetizers, cultural programs and a dance floor! This year formal will be held on Friday, February 16th. Keep in mind this is a long weekend so please plan accordingly! Pre-sale tickets will be $8 and at the door will be $10. Dress code is formal attire, dress to impress! (Dresses, skirts, shirt and tie). The pre-sale ticket link will be coming out shortly.
We are also looking for fun and energetic emcees for this event. If you and a partner are interested, please contact Asha at [email protected] for more details.
~SASA NIGHT~
Third, as a reminder our biggest event, SASA night, will also be coming up soon on March 30th. This is our annual cultural show, which consists of a traditional Indian dinner, South Asian performances and a dance floor to end off the night! Dress code for this event is a dress to impress South Asian/Desi attire. This is preferred but not mandatory! Winter break may be the only time some of you are home so plan on bringing your favorite South Asian attire from home soon or borrowing from a friend, if you’d like. If you would like to perform on stage at this event, please be sure to fill out the Google form linked below by February 24th.
SASA Night Performance Google Form link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1o21daatrdmQzqeMm9NWznVjCzHxeTcyHS8rm9bd_43s/edit
A big part of SASA night is the Freshmen and Senior Dances!! It is a tradition that every year, the freshman and senior classes get together and perform their own dance at SASA night! This is a great way to get to know your class and bond. For freshman, you can meet new friends and for seniors, this is a great way to get together and end off your senior year. No prior dancing skills are necessary so definitely take part in this! Facebook groups for each class are linked below so definitely join those if you are interested and feel free to reach out to the Freshman and Senior dance reps!
Freshman Dance Reps: Aashna Shah and Vikram Sablani

Hi Everyone!
I work for the Institute of International Education (IIE), an international organization founded by the U.S. government over 100 years ago to promote international education across the world.
Earlier this year, we launched a brand new full-ride graduate scholarship for students to study artificial intelligence. I will be hosting an information session on Monday, December 14th at 6:00 pm EST about the scholarship program, free application process, and more!
Students admitted to the scholarship program will have the opportunity to study at MBZUAI, an international university and the world’s first university dedicated to the study of AI. Led by new President Eric Xing of Carnegie, Sir Michael Brady of Oxford, and Dr. Daniela Rus of MIT, the university is comprised of faculty and leadership from MIT, Oxford, Columbia, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Ohio State, and more.
The scholarship provides:
• Full-ride scholarship that includes all academic tuition and fees
• Monthly stipend of $2,200 (MSc) or $2,700 (PhD)
• Free housing in a fully furnished one-bedroom apartment
• Comprehensive health insurance
• Annual round trip flights to and from Abu Dhabi (where the university is located)
The university offers programs in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Natural Language Processing.
If you are unable to make the session on Monday, December 14, make sure you take a look at other upcoming information sessions!
I hope to see you there!
