Arab Student Organization Budget

FY2010 (July 1, 2009 - June 30, 2010)

Re-founded in March of 2007, the Arab Student Organization (ASO) is a non-political student organization whose objective is to create an awareness of the different Arab cultures through the sponsoring of Arab social and cultural activities in an attempt to spread knowledge and generate an understanding of these cultures. The organization respects the religious and ethnic identities of all its members in abidance with Carnegie Mellon University’s statement of assurance. Furthermore, ASO works with other student organizations to help foster friendship among different cultural groups while promoting a peaceful understanding of the conflict and current situation in the Middle East.
