The Muslim Student Association (MSA) at Purdue is an active student organization for Muslim Boilermakers who hail from all parts of the world. MSA conducts a number of social, educational, outreach, and community service events during the Fall and Spring semesters. Its biggest outreach program is called the "Islamic Awareness Week" (IAW) and is normally conducted once a year. During the IAW, Muslims students share information about their faith, practices, and culture with the fellow students through various events. Famous speakers and scholars are also invited to give talks on important topics related to Islam.
