Letter from the President
Ama Ambaah
The African Student Organization (ASO) is one of the first organizations that I joined at Texas Woman’s University. I was a bit hesitant at first because it was defiantly something new and something I’ve never seen before, an organization that has a primary focus on sharing the African cultures with the rest of its community. I joined ASO my freshman year and I have loved it ever since. Not only
have I learned more about the other African cultures and have gotten to meet
different people from all over, but I have also gained a new family and friendships
that I can honestly say will last a lifetime. Through ASO I have been able to gain
social confidence and I’ve been able to improve my public speaking skills. ASO
gave me a platform where I was able to get out of my comfort zone and publicly
speak to others about my African Culture and what ASO stands for as a whole
on the TWU campus, I was able to help my community through community
service, and interact with the other ASOs on other college campus within the
state of Texas through ASO weekend.
As the current president of ASO my main goal is to give the incoming freshman, as well
as our other returning students, the same experience that I got when I was a member in
ASO. I want our members to be able to express themselves, embrace their African culture,
learn more about the other 54 countries, while also having plenty of fun. Even though
our organization is all about spreading the African culture around our campus, we are
open and invite everyone from every background to come and join us. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE AFRICAN to join ASO, we are so diverse and welcoming to everyone!!! Our organization is open to everyone from every background, culture, race, and color. We are all about coming together as a whole, building up our communities, keeping our values, carrying out our culture, being proud of who we are, and having fun!!! If you are interested in membership or have any questions at all please feel free to contact me for more information.
