"I joined ASU because I wanted to meet more people with similar backgrounds. Plus, I already knew some people." -Abigail
"One of the reasons I joined ASU was to network and make friends with people who have similar backgrounds and cultures as I do." -Clement
"Freshman year of college I felt a heavy disconnect from my Yoruba culture that I was used to being around. It felt like a huge puzzle piece from my life was missing. When I heard about ASU, I knew I had to join. I felt even more sure after attending an ASU event. I hadn't experienced my true community yet at UF until that moment. I had made friends of course, but there was something vital that was missing and that was my African community. ASU has helped me to fulfill that and feel way more comfortable at UF." -Gabrielle
