The MSA at Penn State was founded in February of 1964 by 4 students with a vision to create a haven for Muslims on campus and to spread awareness and tolerance for Islam. While the founding members hailed from Iraq, Pakistan, Egypt, and Indonesia, today's MSA has members that span five continents and 47 countries. With over 300 Muslim students at Penn State today, the MSA celebrates 45 years of being a leading voice for understanding at University Park. Last year, we were recognized for our efforts with the Paul Robeson Award, one of the university's most distinguished honors, for our commitment to creating a climate of racial harmony and social justice at Penn State.
