Who We Are
Mission
Uniting Malaysian Student Associations across the United States, building the culture of
growth and unity
We aspire to be the body that unites Malaysian Student Associations (MASA) across the United States of America and forge beneficial relationships between them. NAMSA aims to nurture and enrich the development of Malaysian students in the United States of America and to inculcate a culture of leadership, professionalism, and networking.
How We Started
