About

The mission of the Russian American Student Association at UCF is to give students an opportunity to see, taste, and hear another culture. The Russian club officers and members are determined to build bridges of opportunity and learning, to share in cultural knowledge and creativity, and to lessen the divide between cultures and nations.
