Pan African Student Association of Miami Dade College

The Pan African Student Association (PASA) is an official not-for-profit organization of Miami Dade College founded on November 7, 2005 by Michael E. Imasua, Jr.. Our mission is to facilitate a broad understanding among the community of the history, societies and cultures of the African world and to offer constructive analysis of global issues as it affects Africa and the Diaspora in the Caribbean and Latin America. We at PASA belong to a global based curriculum, infused with learning resources and expeditions; we provides hands-on, minds-on authentic learning experiences taking students beyond the walls of the classroom. We work with a nationwide network of community-based African organizations that focus on promoting the diverse African cultures. PASA is a center for activism focusing on conditions in the African World. We sponsor seminars, conferences, community awareness projects and training programs. These activities allow us to play a significant role in presenting to the general public alternative perspectives on the economic, political, and moral ramifications of global policy as it affects Africa and the Diaspora. At PASA, we attract alliances, build bridges and promote African cultures; all through citizen diplomacy. We believe a warm handshake marks the beginning of a life-long friendship. Join us to build a global network!
