Williams African Students Organization (WASO) is established to provide students of African descent and any students/alumni with an interest in issues concerning the African continent a forum to come together and discuss relevant topics. The organization also serves as a medium to educate the larger campus community about African issues. We strive to enable our members to share their experiences and perspectives with one another by creating a rich and welcoming atmosphere, and organize events on campus to reach out to the general Williams community showcasing African heritage and culture.
