Upcoming National Events
1st Annual National African Students’ Association Conference
Location: Emory University - Atlanta, Georgia | Date: March 19th-21st, 2010 | Time: 5pm
While the Inaugural National ASA Conference was intended to be March 20-22 2009 at the University of Colorado-Boulder, it will instead happen in Spring of 2010 at Emory University in Atlanta Georgia.
This is one of the largest networking opportunities for African students who attend colleges and universities around the United States. The conference theme is TBA though the conference will have several useful workshops, a career fair, and various social activities throughout the weekend! Through its conferences, the National A.S.A. seeks to empower and unite its members while creating service opportunities to foster progress on the African continent. We hope our members will use the information garnered at our conference to develop into the African leaders we are all charged to be.
