OUR MISSION STATEMENT :

The RUSAS Rutgers University Society of Arab Students is a human relations organization dedicated to fighting bias, bigotry and racism within the student body. RUSAS will take upon its shoulders the promotion of understanding and respect among all races, religions and cultures through advocacy, conflict resolution and education.
In the current climate, we all need to be aware of what Arab culture is and how it came into being. Making sense of the steady stream of information from the media and the many other sources requires background, context and interpretation. All this, of course, asks for the interaction between both Arab and non-Arab Americans which is vital for the coexistence of all races, not only Arab and non-Arab Americans, for after all what America is but the greatest melting pot.
These are reasons enough for RUSAS concern with political, cultural and social impacts of current events and the media on ideas formed and held by the society at large, but specifically with the student body at Rutgers University. RUSAS exists to provide information and diverse perspectives, and inspire debate, collaboration, action and student body engagement. Thus, the society will attempt to address such concerns in their meetings and other events and pose a daunting challenge for what can actually be done.
