For out first installment of the monthly profiles, we have decided to profile the University of Pennsylvania's KSA. However, we encourage each and every one of you to submit a monthly perspective. It does not necessarily have to be on an organizational level. We would love people to share personal thoughts, stories, and general perspectives as well. It would also help greatly if you could send pictures along with your submission, either electronically or by mail. It's a great forum and a great publicity spot!

The Korean Students Association at the University of Pennsylvania is an organization of undergraduate students with an interest in Korean culture and life. KSA offers social events to provide a chance for members to interact. KSA also has been working to promote cultural and political awareness on Penn campus. We try to serve as a voice on issues of importance to Korean and Korean-American students. KSA also offers community service projects so that we can work with and give back to the Penn community and the greater Philadelphia area.

Our past events have included house parties, potluck dinners for Korean New Year and little/big sib dinners, ice-skating parties, football games with other organizations, semi-formals including our Senior Banquet, and our cultural show, Penn Korean Night.

This school year we have started another little/big sib program, had our parties, will have Sushi Night with Penn Nihon Club, the Japanese student organization at Penn, and will end the year with our winter semi-formal. During Asian Pacific American Heritage Week in October, we sponsored a multicultural forum to promote awares of Asian American issues and stressing the importance of having ethnic studies and learning about Asian American history. We will also participate in Unity Week, held by an umbrella organization of all minority groups on campus, in the middle of November.
