Initially originating in University Park, Penn State's first Egyptian Student Association came about in the fall semester of 2012. Its purpose, for the most part, is to familiarize Penn State and its students with Egyptian culture and history, as well as integrate Egyptian students with the Penn State Community. We also provide a great and homey environment for students of all different cultural backgrounds and beliefs. Occasionally, the organization participates in multicultural events with other groups from around the world and thrives to broaden its horizons in numerous ways.
