Highlights

Celebration of Islamic Culture

Islam Awareness Week is MSA’s flagship event. Recently, the Islamic Education subcommittee added a series of unique events to highlight several aspects of Islamic culture. In November 2006, our main event showcased the artwork of local Muslim artists, alongside exhibits on Islamic fashion, architecture, music, and more. Hundreds of students and families joined in this wonderful gathering, and many won prizes for completing a scavenger hunt throughout the night.
