The MSA shall strive to establish and maintain the Friday (Juma'a) prayers throughout the year, prayers and celebrations for both Eids, and iftaar (fast-break) meals during Ramadan. Additionally, the MSA shall make sure that there is a space on campus available for Muslim students to pray their daily prayers. Finally, the MSA shall do its best to increase unity within the Muslim community on campus through social events like study breaks, discussions, and dinners.

Section II

The secondary goal of the MSA is to serve the campus community. The MSA shall strive to enrich the diversity of campus life by educating our peers about the religion of Islam through lectures, events, dialogues, and similar events. Additionally, the MSA shall strive to create and participate in interfaith events that promote understanding and tolerance of the diverse religious traditions on campus.

	President - Yasin Hegazy '15 Salaam! My name is Yasin Hegazy, I'm an Egyptian-American sophomore living in Doha, Qatar. The Muslim Student Association is one of the most vibrant, diverse, and downright fun student groups at Princeton University. For many students, including myself, it is a home away from home. That's why I'm so delighted to have the opportunity to serve as MSA president and make sure that we continue to be an essential part of Muslim student life at Princeton.
	Vice-President - Lina Saud '15 Lina Saud is a sophomore from Princeton, NJ. Born and raised in Ann Arbor, MI (Go Blue!), she's seen the great influence a college MSA can have on the greater Muslim community surrounding it and is very excited to now be serving on the MSA here at Princeton. As Vice President, she hopes to work with fellow board members and the campus Muslim community to continue to build Princeton's MSA into an influential body on campus.
	Treasurer - Wardah Bari '16 Salaam everyone! My name is Wardah Bari, and I am a Pakistani American freshman student from sunny Southern California. I have really enjoyed my time exploring the East Coast, meeting new friends, and finding my new family away from home here at MSA. I like to go on adventures, play sports, watch movies/TV, and spend time with friends. I am a prospective pre-med WWS major and Global Health & Policy certificate. This year I hope to help MSA reach new heights and strengthen our community through events and activities for students to participate in.
	Public Relations Chair - Kujegi Camara '16 My name is Kujegi Camara, currently a freshman. I am from the Bronx, NY, daughter of Gambian immigrants. I am the oldest of eight kids so I grew up having the natural desire to lead. As the Public Relations Chair of the MSA Board, I will work to better the relations between the MSA, Princeton, and the greater community. The MSA has played a great role in helping me find a home in Princeton, and I am excited to serve my community and give back. On my free time, I love to write poems and catch up on TV shows and movies. Fun facts about me are that I have intense African pride and carbs are my life.
	Communications Chair - Sarah Qari '16 Hi! I'm Sarah Qari. I'm a Jersey girl (through and through!) and I come from a Pakistani-American family. I grew up going to an Islamic school and spending a lot of time in an active Muslim community, so participating in the growth of the Muslim community at Princeton is really important to me. I'm a really outgoing person and enjoy meeting new people-- if you ever see me around, I'd love to stop and chat! My hobbies include reading, journaling, organizing things, procrastinating on BuzzFeed, and watching White Collar. At Princeton, I'm a pre-med still sifting through a slew of potential majors. I look forward to being a part of the many exciting plans this Board has for this semester and next!
	Community Service Chair - Farah Amjad '16 I'm Farah. I was born in Pakistan but moved to the beautiful state of California in 2001. One of four sisters from a close-knit family, I was a little nervous about leaving home for Princeton but I've found another loving family here in the MSA. As the Community Service Chair, I hope to make service and social activism, concepts that I think a lot about, an integral part of the MSA agenda. I'm a huge documentary and news junkie, specifically international news, but I also enjoy cheesy Bollywood movies. Feel free to share good music with me, as I enjoy everything from Nusrat Fatah Ali Khan to Mos Def to Radiohead.
	Webmaster - Safeeyah Quereshi '16 Hi! I'm Safeeyah. I'm an American Muslim freshman from Brookfield, Wisconsin. Insha'Allah I'll be a religion major with an NES certificate (if I ever get my Arabic grade out of the gutter). When I'm not participating in the fantastic MSA activities or playing around with this website, I play club rugby, read a lot, and generally hang out with my friends. I'm so blessed to be part of such an active, supportive Muslim community on campus, and I look forward to keeping this website updated to represent this amazing MSA.
	Intramural Chair - Adam Yabroudi '15 Adam Yabroudi is a sophomore and prospective engineer. He grew up in New York City and is a Syrian Italian American. He loves playing sports, especially soccer, which is why he decided run for Intramural Chair on the MSA board. He also thought it would be a good opportunity to become more involved with the Muslim community. He hopes to lead the MSA intramural teams towards success while organizing and promoting sports among the Muslim community.
