President

Hi, my name is Mbere Monjok and I am honored to be the President of the African Students Organization on the University of Texas campus. My involvement in ASA began my freshman year and since that time I can truly say I have formed a genuine love for the people and a devotion to our cause of highlighting the greatness of the African culture. I have lived in ten different countries; mostly Middle Eastern and African, but I was born in Nigeria. I moved to the United States when I was thirteen years old and have lived in Houston since then. I am currently a junior majoring in Economics and French with a minor in Business. After graduation, I plan on pursuing my MBA in Finance and Accounting at New York University with dreams of one day working for the United Nations.

Vice President

Hey Yall! My name is Alicia Bamidele Johnson, also known as BamBam. I am your 2011-2012 African Students Association Vice President. I am a Chemistry Major here at the University of Texas with a minor in Textiles and Apparel. I was born and raised in the greatest city in Texas. Although I grew up on the south west side of Houston, I still have a strong connection with our mother country Africa. I love my Yoruba culture and hope I can instill the same values it taught me in the generations that precede me. I love ASA because it offers me a home away from home. Here I can find people who share the same cultural values I grew up learning. ASA is a big welcoming family that expands and does greater things every year. I am honored to be a part of such greatness.

Secretary

Hello everyone! My name is Lola Adeyeye but better yet known as your 2011-2012 secretary! I am a proud Nigerian and a 3rd year Kinesiology/Pre-Physical Therapy major here at UT from FORT WORTH, TX (What what!)! I have been involved in ASA since my freshmen year by participating in dance and even serving as social chair last school year. After graduation I plan to gain my Doctorate in Physical Therapy and work for a sports team or in a sports clinic. ASA is such a premier cultural organization on UTs huge campus because of the bond between our members and our dedication to spread our heritage to other people and groups. I hope YOU join ASA and not only gain lifelong friends but a family as well!

Public Relations

Bawo ni!! My name is Kanyinsola Obayan and if you havent guessed by now I am proud Yoruba woman. I am YOUR 2011-2012 ASA Public Relations officer! I am a sophomore double majoring in International Relations and Global Studies and African and African Diaspora Studies. After college, I hope to pursue a degree in International law. Although I am Nigerian to the core, I consider myself a citizen of the world. I was born in Lagos, Nigeria but currently live in Arlington, TX. Despite of the separating distance between us, Africa has always been very near and dear to my heart. Therefore, ASAs position in my heart should be obvious. I ABSOLUTELY love ASA and it is the BEST organization to ever be conceived on UTs campus. This organization already has and will continue to play an important role in my UT experience. ASA is a force that cannot be reckoned with the ability to create the extraordinary. I only hope that you will take the time to let it do the same for you. Hook'em!

Treasurer

Hey guyyss! My name is Chantal Tambe and I am from Dallas, Texas. I am so privileged to be the 2011-2012 African Students Association Treasurer and am a proud Cameroonian woman. I am a junior but last year was my first year here at UT and I am a transfer student from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Surprise surprise! I am a math major with a specification in Actuarial Science. Upon graduation, I have hopes to either pursue a career in the insurance business or continue on to get my MBA with a concentration in Actuarial Science. I have been involved in ASA since I have been at this university in things such as dance and volunteering, ASA really holds such a special place in my heart because it is a place where you will always feel at home and you have an instant support system so I hope that you decide to come out and join our family!
