UALBANY MUSLIMS STUDENTS
ASSOCIATION

The Muslim Students Association (MSA) provides UAlbany students with the opportunity to come together in a supportive Muslim environment and seeks to educate the Albany community about Islam. All students and community members are welcome to MSA activities and events. Above all we recognize that students are at varied levels in their own faith and we are welcoming to all, regardless of the extent of one's religious knowledge or determination.

Regular activities organized by the MSA include weekly planning meetings and Friday congregational Jumu’ah prayers in CC375. In addition, each semester features several social gatherings such as pizza socials, movie nights and jeopardy nights. Ramadan for us is the busiest and most inspiring time of the year: the MSA organizes Iftaar dinners and Suhoor packets, as well as occasional Taraweeh prayers on campus, or we offer rides to the nearby mosques.

Other annual events include our Professor's Dinner, a farewell Graduates Dinner and our end of the year BBQ. Every spring, the MSA holds an annual Islamic Awareness Week with the purpose of better acquainting the campus community with the faith of its members. Also in the spring, our MSA members enjoy making the trip to the MSA National East Zone Conference, held in one of the east coast states.

The MSA believes in active involvement on campus, and works to participate in events sponsored alongside other associations such as the Newman Group, the Interfaith Council, Hillel, ASIA, the Department of Residential Life, CHARGE, and others.
