Indian Undergraduate Association - IUA
Fall 2008 Budget
Purpose: The Indian Undergraduate Association, or the IUA as we are often called, promotes
Indian culture on the Stevens Campus. Apart from our Indian food sales, the IUA
organizes two annual cultural festivals. In the fall semester, we organize the Diwali Sho
to celebrate the Indian Festival of Lights and in the spring semester we organize the H
Show to celebrate the Indian Festival of Colors. Apart from giving students taste of
exquisite Indian food, these shows also provide students with the opportunity to
experience the rich cultural heritage of India.
