SSA at OSU

The Somali Student Association (SSA) is a vibrant campus organization at The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH.

The SSA's nine board members in 2016-2017 are studying Neuroscience, Public Affairs / International Business, Public Health, Business, Speech and Hearing Sciences, Molecular Genetics, Food Science/ Pharmaceutical Science, International Development, and Health Sciences / Environmental Public Health.

Academics is not the only area in which SSA students excel. Enjoy the images below showing a glimpse of campus life. Watch this viral YouTube video of the SSA dance team performing in 2014 at the annual Taste of OSU, an event that attracts thousands of visitors each year. 

​SSA also makes quite an impact  at Taste of OSU with delectable Somali food. They won First Place in the food category in both 2016 and 2017.
