About Us

The Harvard African Students' Association, founded in 1977, is an organization committed to nourishing cultural, intellectual, political, and economic awareness about the African continent. We are the Harvard community for students from Africa, connected to Africa, or interested in matters concerning Africa. Anyone who is intrigued by lively debates, art shows, cultural shows, music, and African cuisine will find a welcoming home at HASA. We are dedicated to building community and promoting collaboration amongst African students at Harvard, encouraging awareness of Africa within the Harvard community and the greater Boston area, and ultimately contributing back to our continent.
