3) MSA National Central Zone Conference (April 9th-11th)
This is going to take place alongside Spring Camp at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The program is still being worked on but a film festival, speakers such as Dawud Wharnsby Ali and Rami Nashashibi, and a lot of cool MSA workshops are set to make this the best Central Zone conference ever! Save the date and more information to come as we setup registration, develop our website, and invite more speakers. I think this year MSA will offer a prize for the both the Illinois and outside Illinois chapter that brings the greatest proportion of their members to the conference!

This conferene is going to take place in the heartland: St. Louis, Missouri. This conference will be held parallel to ISNA's Central Zone conference. More information will soon be coming out on this conference. Many speakers have already confirmed and we're developing our MSA committee right now. We would love to have you involved!

6) MSA conference - (July 2nd-July 4th)
What better place to spend you're Independence Day weekend then in the Lone Star state. Okay, so there may be a few better places, but nonetheless this conference was a huge success last year drawing almost 400 MSA students and became the largest MSA conference in Central Zone. This is also a parallel conference to ISNA's Southcentral regional conference. I went to last year's program, it was really neat!
