Filipino American Student Association 2022

What is the Filipino American Student Association?

The Filipino American Student Association (FASA) was established in 2019 by a small group of Filipinos who came together in a sense of camaraderie to provide a welcoming community for Duquesne Filipino students that serves the Duquesne community by creating awareness of the Filipino culture.

Why donations are needed

With donations, the group can continue to flourish in different ways such as:

• Funding for events: We will hold culture nights that include catering of Filipino food and traditional Filipino dance, which would not be possible without the help of the community around us. 
• Mentorship: We also have a mixer at the beginning of the year to introduce upperclassmen with freshmen and will help cultivate relationships for a Kuya (older brother)/Ate (older sister) mentorship program.
• Promotion: The money raised for this campaign will also help promote the organization to the campus community. Something important with the association is the idea of identity and feeling solidarity, so being able to have our organization have a logo that can be displayed and worn with pride will help our club’s visibility on campus.

Funding for this project is special because it is the first Filipino student organization at Duquesne University. Being able to set a firm foundation for the Filipino American Student Association will ensure its future success. Donations will provide for future events and other means of growth for the association.

Thank you for your consideration and support!
