MSA-OSU is in need of YOUR support to continue fostering our campus community and serving the needs of our Muslim youth!


One of our many Brotherhood events, which connect brothers from the MSA and Columbus community in a fun and halal way!

Who Are We and Why is MSA Needed?

The OSU Muslim Students' Association serves 5,000+ Muslim students across the Ohio State campuses. In today's troubling times, it is vital that the Muslim youth are provided with a vibrant community to foster their deen and build life-long companionship founded on our core principles. MSA-OSU provides religious services, advocates on behalf of Muslim students on campus, and provides opportunities for students to give back to their community. MSA-OSU provides a “home away from home” for our students hailing from across Ohio and out of state. It is a community where Muslim students can feel comfortable growing and engaging their campus in a focused manner. As an organization, MSA-OSU adds a valuable voice to OSU that speaks for its Muslim students, seeks to dispel harmful myths, and is committed to broadening horizons.  

We are in serious need of funds to continue holding programming, provide meals during Ramadan, and build our presence on campus. Our strategic vision for the 2024-2025 school year has a comprehensive plan to build upon past successes and elevate our MSA to more than just a “club”, but rather a masjid on campus.   

 

Our Goals:

  • Establish a Chaplain and officially institute a physical masjid on campus
  • Provide free Iftars for all students throughout Ramadan
  • Host extensive Ramadan spiritual programming
  • Lead Halaqas and Quran circles every week
  • Facilitate Halal community bonding/socials every week
  • Promote dawah on campus through “Islam Awareness Week” and other initiatives
  • Host interfaith events such as our annual Fast-a-Thon banquet
  • Give back to our community with monthly service events
  • and more!
