Muslim Student Association
MSA, since its inception in 1978 has become not only an integral part of the CSU community but also to the larger Fort Collins community. Providing services to the Islamic community here in Fort Collins, MSA I believe is currently working on helping build a new mosque in our community. Their generosity extends beyond their organization, many MSA members work individually helping out in our community, such as working as interpreters at health centers for those who do not understand English. This is a crucial aspect for maintaining the health of a community. There is much to say about the work of MSA, but one thing that should be highlighted is MSA’s commitment to educating non-Muslims about Islamic culture. Since 9/11 Islam as a religion has become under attack, and MSA helps correct facts from fictions which plague our nation’s media and dialogue about Islam.
