Welcome to the
Caribbean Students Association online. We invite you to explore and get to know
who we are. Our association comprises SIU students of Caribbean origin and is
open to individuals who are simply interested in the Caribbean culture.
We seek to engage in cultural exchanges with other associations and in promoting the
culture of the Caribbean to both the campus and off campus communities.
Leadership and education of our members is essential as we encourage
participation in leadership conferences for example, and support each other
through our educational attainment.
For newly arrived persons we act as a support network while they transition
into life here at SIU. We are a social organization, so we host several
bashments and cook ups, have road trips, and we love to "lime" (hangout)
as we call it. At the same time, however, we participate in several
outreach events in an effort to remain active in the Carbondale community.
So come join us! We can't wait to welcome you into our family.
