SASA just came out of coordinating the annual International African Students Associan conference in conjunction with Amherst, Hampshire and Mt Holyoke colleges. The conference was entitled "Marching forward to a new Africa". Between all events and activities it was attened by more than 500 participants from all around the United States.

SASA also had its senior dinner on May 28, 2002.

The next SASA event will be in the Fall semester. Of the annual events, the first one will be SASA Fall Jam, an evening of dinner with cuisine from the African Diaspora. Most of the dishes for this dinner are prepared by SASA members themselves! This event followed by an actual "Jam", where you'll get to hear and enjoy contemporary music from Africa and the Caribbean.

Following that will be anothr fund raiser at around February, surprsingly called the Spring SASA Jam. SASA normally hires an African or a Caribbean restaurant to cater for this event, and of course the day ends with a party.

The culmination of SASA's events comes around the end of April: Africa Week. This is a week dedicated to a weeklong events ranging from lectures, debates and film screenings to "Cafe Afrique", a sampling of coffee from Africa. On the Saturday of this week, Africa Day, SASA hosts a key note speaker to bring activits of the week together. SASA's largest dinner and party follow.
