About NUSASA

The Northwestern University South Asian Student Alliance (NUSASA) is a cultural and community organization dedicated to fostering a welcoming environment for South Asian community at Northwestern.

Founded by students who wanted a stronger sense of South Asian community on campus, NUSASA has grown into one of Northwestern's most active cultural organizations.

Our Values

Community

We create spaces where South Asian students feel seen, supported, and at home — whether they grew up immersed in the culture or are connecting with it for the first time.

Culture

From classical dance to Bollywood, from Diwali to Eid, we celebrate the full diversity and richness of South Asian traditions and identities.

Leadership

We empower students to lead, organize, and grow — preparing them to be advocates for their communities both on campus and beyond.
