The Muslim Students' Association is a registered student organization at Western Michigan University. The MSA at WMU has a very clear and known purpose: to provide a friendly and cooperative learning environment where Muslim and non-Muslim students from different countries of the world can interact with students on campus and benefit from the exchange of knowledge, culture, and values. Through the many activities MSA holds it provides WMU with a reliable and accessible source of Islamic literature and answers to questions about Islam and Muslims.
The MSA members work together in harmony to provide the University community with a tasteful, informative and positive image of Muslims and Islam, and in turn learn about their non-Muslim counterparts. MSA strives to foster peaceful and comfortable environment for Muslim and non-Muslims. MSA believes that an open forum style is ideal for facilitating positive and honest discussions about religions, and demonstrates appreciation for
cultural diversity. This is accomplished through the multicultural
nature of the events MSA holds.
