USC Chinese American Student Association

USC Chinese American Student Association (CASA) is a vibrant student organization at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA, dedicated to enriching the college experience through comprehensive social, cultural, and community service programming. Since its founding in 1997, CASA has grown into the largest cultural organization on the USC campus, welcoming hundreds of new and returning members annually into a dynamic and inclusive community.

CASA specializes in creating meaningful experiences across three foundational pillars: social engagement, cultural education, and community service. The organization provides a safe and welcoming space where students from all backgrounds can explore and learn about Chinese American identity and culture. Through carefully curated events and programs, CASA facilitates the development of lasting friendships and family-like bonds among its diverse membership base.

The organization's programming calendar features a wide variety of activities designed to meet the diverse interests of its members. From general membership meetings and family events to weekend retreats and university tailgates, CASA offers multiple opportunities for students to connect, celebrate, and grow together. Each event is thoughtfully designed to foster both cultural appreciation and genuine community building.

Beyond campus activities, CASA actively engages in community service initiatives that benefit the broader Los Angeles community, the university, and the wider Chinese American cultural community. This commitment to giving back reflects the organization's core values and its dedication to creating positive impact beyond the university walls. Whether you're a freshman exploring student life or a returning member seeking community, CASA provides a welcoming home away from home for students interested in cultural enrichment and meaningful relationships.
