Club Spotlight

Indian Students Association (ISA)

The Indian Students' Association (ISA) at Arizona State University is a non-profit organization for all Indian students. Our objectives are to promote service and leadership opportunities. We understand how tough it is to arrive in a new country, thousands of miles away from home and settle down into a student's life there. We aim to help new students with the transition to the USA and provide support for educational and social issues that they may face at ASU. Student-student and student-community interactions are also highly encouraged. We also work to provide students a platform to express their creative side, especially on the performing arts front.

Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA)

Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA) at ASU is a student organization dedicated to the goal of promoting social, intellectual and cultural activities for Chinese students and scholars at Arizona State University as well as other interested members in the ASU community. It will also strive to provide opportunities and benefits for its members by facilitating the exchange of information between China and Chinese students studying abroad. CSSA encourages all (especially newcoming) Chinese students and scholars in ASU to get involved in organizing CSSA events and to join our organization.
