After an amazing 2010/2011 year, the Canadian Asian International Students' Association (CAISA) is already getting ready for another exciting, action-packed school year. With over 300 registered members and the largest student-run fashion show in Ontario, CAISA has maintained its position as one of the largest and most active student organizations at the University of Western Ontario.
Over the past few years, CAISA has continued its tradition of providing members with a wide range of social, athletic, academic, and charity-based events. Some of our annual marquee events in the past have included Cultural Dinner, Semi-formal, Coffee House, charity days, and themed bar nights. We are looking forward to welcoming members to these events again this year and are also moving forward with both new and improved initiatives. These initiatives include, but are not limited to, the launch of the CAISA Alumni Directory and further development of CAISA's website and social media presence. CAISA is a club that takes great pride in providing members with a strong sense of community and belonging, and we hope that these initiatives, along with existing offerings, will help bring students and members of the extended London community together.
In addition to our core activities, CAISA is also pleased to announce that we will be hosting our 14th annual CAISA Fashion Show on March 24, 2012 at the Western Fair District with all proceeds going to the Children's Health Foundation (CHF). The Children's Health Foundation is a charity dedicated to raising and granting funds to support specialized health care and research for children and youth. Over the life of CAISA Fashion Show, we have raised over $95,000 for CHF; in 2011, alone, we were able to raise $20,000 for this cause. As a result of our work, we have also had the honour of having one of the Medical Instruction rooms named after the club. CAISA is proud to support charitable organizations within our community and beyond and we remain committed to improving the lives of all those around us.
CAISA continues to seek opportunities to enrich the lives of our members and those of organizations and individuals in the communities around us. We invite you to share this vision with us.

Academics
CAISA maintains an online exam bank as a valuable resource for our members. At our annual event, Professional's Night, speakers from Law, Medicine, Dental, and the Richard Ivey School of Business are invited to share their insights on their academic and professional experiences. This year, CAISA is looking forward to launching our CAISA Alumni Directory as a way for members, old and new, as a resource for members to expand their CAISA network beyond university life.
Athletics
CAISA organizes and runs a variety of sports teams for our members, taking care of team registration and player management. Our teams participate in intramural leagues and various club tournaments. We also organize our own charity fundraisers including our Dodge Ball and 3-on-3 Basketball tournaments. Besides sports, we recognize the importance of leading a healthy, active lifestyle as a student and seek to help members with monthly tips and our "CAISA Works Out" initiative.
Community
CAISA is constantly seeking volunteer opportunities for members who are interested in giving back to the local London and UWO student community. In the past, we have worked with Ark Aid Soup Kitchen, Hutton House, and the Boys' and Girls' Club of London. CAISA's leadership in community involvement also includes our participation in school-wide initiatives such as the Relay for Life and Shinerama. Finally, our annual charity fashion show has been able to raise over $95,000 for the Children's Health Foundation over the life of our 13-year old production.
Social
Each year, CAISA hosts cultural dinners, semi-formals, barbeques, and charity parties. With the recent re-launch of our website and social media pages, CAISA acts as a premium hub for networking and meeting new people.
You'll have some great company while studying in a calm and quiet atmosphere. Forget looking for a spot in Weldon or Taylor and come join us first :) Bring your friends!! We'll have hard copies of previous exams for you to peruse and upper execs from different programs will be around for help if needed! Definitely time well spent ;)
Hey there CAISA fans,
We're sorry we haven't updated you in a while. kidCAISA went on a little a break but now he's back and ready to go. The school year's about to begin in around 2 months and the CAISA exec team is well on their way planning some great things for upcoming 2011/2012. That's right. Get excited now. There's been some rumours flying around about some sick CAISA merch, a great new CAISA trip, and maybe even some CAISA podcasts. Keep checking here for the updates fans.
Hope everyone's enjoying the summer,
Peas!

It’s you, it’s you, it’s all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It’s better than I ever even knew.
They say that the world was built for two.
On our way with living
If somebody is loving you
Baby now will do
If ever you need a pick me up, a laugh, or just want to smile- watch this video by The Black Keys!
Phantogram - Don’t Move
[This has been my jam for a few weeks now. These people made a rad unoffical video! I want to make unofficial videos for everything now!]
I’m not your paranoia
When someone’s at the door
Virgin fires calling out the throat of a body rising through the floor
I’m not your fortune teller
I’m not your spinning bed
I’m never like you
Uncomfortable too
This is starting to fuck with my head
All you know how to do is
Shake shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
All you do is
Shake shake shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
After exams, this is where we’ll all be - I hope there are leprechauns and double rainbows there. See you on the other side.
