As the first Central American organization at UBC, the Central American Student Association (CASA) is dedicated to celebrating and sharing the rich cultures, histories, and traditions of Central America. We strive to bridge the gap between Central American students and the local community by providing a safe space for dialogue and hosting educational, cultural, networking, and social events. CASA also aims to serve as a connection hub between Central Americans and the broader Latin American community in Vancouver. Through advocacy, outreach, professional and educational opportunities, we seek to empower our Central American community members to become the best they can be, and to be a CASA, a home away from home, at UBC.
