Who we are
About MSA
The Muslim Students Association at Lafayette College supports Muslim student life through prayer, learning, social activities, and engagement with the wider campus.
MSA is centered on the needs and experiences of Muslim students, while welcoming anyone at Lafayette who would like to attend an event, learn more about Islam, or get to know the community.
Throughout the academic year, MSA organizes Friday prayer, biweekly halaqas, social events, Ramadan and Eid programs, and larger community gatherings. MSA also works with the Office of Religious & Spiritual Life and other campus partners to support the practical needs of Muslim students.
