The UMass Tamil Student Association was founded by a group of passionate students who are dedicated to celebrating and spreading awareness of Tamil heritage within the UMass community. Our goal is to create a space where Tamil Students can come together, feel at home, and share their culture with others. As a newly established registered organization, we are seeking to raise funds that will allows us to host a variety of cultural events, performances, and educational activities that showcase the richness and diversity of Tamil Culture.
With your support, we will be able to organize these events that not only celebrate Tamil traditions but also foster a deeper understanding of our culture within the broader campus community. Your contribution will help us continue building a strong, inclusive community for Tamil students and beyond. We appreciate any support you can offer in helping us grow and make a lasting impact at UMass.
