September 2004
First of all, we like to welcome all new students and returning students
back to the University of Minnesota for another academic session. We
would like to, as TASA, provide all Turkish students with a means to
unite, as well as, providing you assistance, if any, in your academic
journey. Please feel free to email us with questions (turks@tc.umn.edu)
or if you would like to include someone in our email list. For a list of
