The Chinese American Student Association (CASA) at the University of Florida strives to celebrate and raise awareness about Chinese and Chinese American culture in the Gator Nation and the Gainesville community. Our arms are open to members of all races and ethnicities. CASA is guided by its overarching pillars of culture, service, and leadership. As a “for student, by student” organization, we want to enhance your college experience through activities such as dance, sports, volunteering or event planning, and help you build your foundation as a student leader. Above all, we will help you find a home and family. CASA’s logo is the Chinese character for “home/family” (家). CASA establishes itself as a home away from home for its members by fostering relationships among the members through camping trips, after socials, and the “Gege-Jiejie-Didi-Meimei” big-little pairing program. Make a large variety of connections, acquaintances, and even life-long friends!
