Majlis

The South Asian Studies Council's student Majlis serves as a gathering point for graduate, professional, and undergraduate students across the university who are interested in the study of South Asia. Membership in the Majlis provides targeted opportunities to form connections with peers, guest speakers, and faculty through on- and off- campus events, along with other benefits.

The Majlis is primarily intended to serve as an intellectual community. Students may also be interested in joining one of Yale's many Student Organizations focused on South Asian cultural activities.

Benefits of joining the Majlis include:

• Opportunities to join small meetings with visiting faculty and speakers who work on South Asia
• Invitations to regular on and off-campus meals and social events hosted by SASC which encourage connections with peers, faculty, and alumni interested in the study of South Asia
• Assistance for applications for research funding from SASC
• Opportunities to be featured on the SASC website and social media
   

To demonstrate commitment to the intellectual community, SASC asks members to attend at least 2 colloquium events per semester.
