UW-Madison Korean American Student Association

Founded in 1986, Korean American Student Associations at University of Wisconsin - Madison exist for all students to assist, guide, and encourage students in striving to create an inclusive community for all of those who identify with or are interested in learning more about Korean-American culture. As Korean American Student Association, we fully experience two distinct yet encompassing cultures; therefore, KASA strives to help students in this community to find balance in their identity and to learn more about this duality. We promote a better understanding of Korean-American culture, heritage, and tradition and work to actively spread awareness of these cultural traditions on campus. We attempt to create an atmosphere for members to accept and express themselves through traditional and modern Korean culture. We work to educate our members and the wider UW-Madison community on Korea as a nation, from history to its contemporary impact on the world. We also aim to produce a voice for Korean Americans via representation for issues and concerns facing the dual cultures blended into our everyday lives, enriching our social identity and our college experience.
