The Arab students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
establish the institution of the MIT Arab Students’ Organization (ASO)
as a vehicle for the empowerment of all MIT Arab and Arab-American
Students, Faculty and Staff interested in Arab affairs, politics and
culture. We seek to:

• Develop in each member of the MIT ASO the initiative and passion to work for the betterment of their communities.

• Promote development of our members and encourage professional and social interaction among Arab American and Arabs in the US and abroad.

• Lead the Arab student movement in the United States by setting the standard for vision, ability and energy.

• Lead the effort to increase the impact of Arab-Americans and Arabs in Science, Technology and Innovation.

• Work with other MIT student groups to overcome ethnic and nationalist barriers, find common ground and achieve our common objectives.

• Actively articulate Arab political causes on campus and define the terms issues and arguments for the mainstream dialogue.

• Educate both the Arab-American and non-Arab communities about Arab modern achievements, culture, history,identity, and concerns.

• Serve our community through volunteerism.
