The Columbia Muslim Students Association is one of the oldest in the United States. Students from all the undergraduate and graduate schools at Columbia participate in the CU MSA, contributing to its multi-faceted diversity. The MSA is dedicated to creating a strong Muslim community on campus by creating a space for Muslims to interact with one another as well as the larger Columbia University community. MSA events and initiatives are aimed at promoting a greater understanding of the religion of Islam among all members of the Columbia community. The MSA aims to strengthen the Muslim community while concomitantly building strong relations with the larger university and local community. This is done through various types of activities and events, ranging from interfaith community service projects to weekly Friday prayers.
