Inception
UC Berkeley’s Pakistani Students Association was established to create a sense of community amongst members of Cal who share a passion for Pakistani and South Asian culture. Pakistani Students Association, PSA, strives to provide a welcoming environment and forum for exploring the different aspects of Pakistani culture, politics, and history.
Vision
Our vision is to promote the awareness of Pakistani and South Asian culture, language, and identity at the University of California, Berkeley and to act as a platform for social and political interaction between Pakistani and South Asian students on campus through various events, activities, and efforts.
Pillars
As a cultural organization, Cal PSA upholds the three pillars of society, charity, and politics. Throughout the semester, we hold multiple social/recreational events to outreach and bond with the South Asian community, charity events to raise money for various humanitarian causes, and political events educating ourselves and others of the political and societal facets of Pakistan and the general South Asian region. Our goals are to excel and succeed in each of these pillars.
Mission Statement
The Pakistani Student Association of the University of California, Berkeley primarily works to promote unity among Pakistani students and to increase awareness of Pakistan’s culture throughout the campus community. Moreover, this organization welcomes all UC Berkeley students who are interested in celebrating Pakistani culture whilst upholding an enjoyable, safe, and welcoming environment.
