Mission Statement

 

  My name is Michael E. Imasua, I am the Founder of The Pan African Student Association of Miami Dade College (PASA). It's a privilege to establish this great organization and to have the chance to contribute to the extraordinarily diverse relationship between us. PASA is the first Pan-African organization and the largest in the college history.

  Hopefully, this site can be a valuable resource for you -- not only for information about the PASA of Miami Dade College, its members, its domestic policies, international affairs, government and economy, as well as practical information about Africa and the African Diaspora, but as a gateway to the field of contributing to the global economy.

  This website is intended to provide easy access to information about all aspects of PASA, including politics, business, history, our services for Miami Dade College student who have interest in issues relating to Africa and its Diaspora, our duties and responsibility in Miami Dade College, answers to frequently asked questions, and more. If there is something you do not find, please let us know and we will try to help you.

  I have the highest hopes that your participation in PASA will make great contributions not only to the success of what we do, but also to the substantial global development.

  I  hope you enjoy visiting PASAweb.com.

Founder

Our mission is to facilitate a broad understanding among the community of the history, societies and cultures of the African world and to offer constructive analysis of global issues as it affects Africa and the Diaspora in the Caribbean and Latin America.

   The purpose of this organization is to serve as a resource on all issues related to Africa. We are striving to increase awareness in terms of whom we are and what role Africa can play in the global community and the Miami Dade College. We also endeavor to assist newly arrived African students and also international students so as to ensure their experiences of their first days within the college are as comfortable as possible.

   Our Vision is to become one of the most active student organizations both within and outside the Miami Dade College.

   I share with you the dreams of PASA by conducting periodic meetings for members and providing lectures, workshops, seminars and forums for the entire academic and civic community. African-focused global town meetings, film festivals, creative and performing arts programs, culinary and cultural events, library-based media showcase exhibits, perhaps linking up on special occasions with AFRICANDO, the Greater Miami Subcommittee on Africa and African delegations through the Miami Council for International Visitors. Perhaps eventually an annual recognition event for outstanding role models and contributors to awareness, immersion and delineation of Africa.
