Mission statement:

The Ramadan fast-a-thon will be for others to realize the sacrifice of food, whether for religious purposes or forced by economic situations. By fasting as a community for one day, and then coming together to break our fast, we will better understand the spiritual conditions among the Muslim population and respect and assist them. The final banquet at the end of the day will be our time to unite as a community and feast while bringing donations for those who fast everyday without any choice of their own.

Date: August 23^rd @ 7:30 pm

Location: MU109

Price: FREE (Optional donation of non-perishable food item will be accepted by the Human Services Resources Center)

Free food will be provided

Come feast after fasting, and take part in the experience of better understanding Muslims and the spiritual community as a whole.

We will break bread and then have an in depth discussion to demystify Ramadan. (The Muslim Holy month)

A brief talk and student panel will be held about Ramadan after dinner.

the ASOSU Cabinet got a chance to have lunch with the folks over at the Memorial Union Building Services.  It was a great opportunity to create relationships with the very people who work tirelessly to maintain various buildings on campus, as they make anything possible especially for the team at ASOSU.

During this event, two Presidential Proclamations were given; one to “The Dream Team”, also known as the MU Facilities staff for all the hard work and dedication they have shown throughout the years.  The second was given to “The Man Behind the Magic” Sid Cooper, the Assistant Director of MU Building Services, for always helping turn dreams into realities.

First START info fair!

The Executive cabinet had a great time and we had the opportunity to meet a lot of young enthusiastic people. We are hoping we get some students interested in leadership and involvement at ASOSU!

This is a picture of the ASOSU Executive Cabinet with the honorable Buddhist Monks.

This experience shows how our involvement and leadership does not just extend to our immediate student body but transfers to the community as a whole.

As members of larger religious and cultural communities we must reach out and unite the hands of cooperation and understanding in order to serve and make a lasting impact.

For if we strike the chord of love between society, religion, and leadership, true harmony will be able to emit.

The ASOSU Executive Cabinet invited Buddhist Monks to come and bless our office.

They chanted traditional hymns and sprayed sanctified water around the office space. Their presence invoked a quiet serenity, where intrigue meets gratitude.

They talked about freedom from suffering and escaping the destruction of your own desires. Their selfless spirit touched and taught us, as student body representatives to live free of individual desires and focus on the needs of the community.
