Afghan Students Association (UTSG)
The Afghan Students’ Association (ASA) provides Afghan Students with an opportunity to get together and organize social, cultural and educational events at U of T campuses. We believe that organizing such events will enhance the understanding of the Afghan students of their own culture, help raise awareness amongst the U of T community of the Afghan people and their culture and will also provide opportunities for Afghan students to consolidate and enhance their social networks.
