UNC Kasama

The purpose of this organization is to be a source of Filipino culture and a network and support system for Filipinos and the Philippine-affiliated.

Kasama - The Filipino American Student Association of UNC-Chapel Hill is a student organization which has been founded for the purpose of serving as a source of information on Filipino culture and a support system for all students. The members will include anyone interested in learning about the Philippines and Filipino culture. We aim to educate our members and audience about the Philippines through our own events as well as cooperation with other cultural organizations on campus. Ultimately, we also hope to promote diversity by adding another unique element to the University community.
