  5. Categorizing the events • Taking in consideration the current lack of man power in MSA, we have divided the events into five categories. Our plan is based on forming a balance between the five categories, rather than focusing on one and neglecting the others. • The main goal of MSA this year is to form a Muslim body on campus and to increase the sense of brotherhood/sisterhood. So within the same category, events that meet our goal receives the highest priority.

The five categories • 1- Services: Prayer room cleaning, Juma’ settings, buying material, lockers, etc. • 2- Events tailored for Muslims: Juma’, Grad Dinner, Ramadan Iftar, Juma’ Khutab, Frosh week, Know Your Rights, Welcome Dinner, Welcome BBQ, etc. • 3- Special Programs: workshops, Islam 101, SB and BB, sport competitions, halaqat, etc. • 4- Dawa on campus: IAW, Dawa Tables. • 5- Public Relations: CUSA, Charlatan, clubs and societies, Muslim Link, Muslim organizations, etc.
