The Korean Student Association (KSA), founded in 2000, is open to all Baylor University students -- both Korean and non-Korean -- to learn more about Korean society and culture through films, presentations, games, and trips. KSA students also hold social, cultural, and athletic events and participate in Baylor-wide events and service activities, such as Diadeloso and Steppin' Out.
