The Nepalese Student Association welcomed its 22 new members. They also elected new board members for the upcoming year.

The current NSA president Nabin Timilsina, a senior Biology major, hosted the event at the Wesley Foundation. It lasted for five hours.

“Wesley feels like home and has been providing us space for any events we host every semester,” said Timilsina. “Besides, Wesley is like a hang out place for Nepalese students and people at Wesley are very amiable.”

There were nearly 56 visitors who helped to make the event a success. Satish Dahal, founding member of the NSA and biology major, was there to make sure the elections were held properly.

Puspa Neupane was named as the first female president.

“It was totally unexpected to her being chosen from a pool of such qualified candidates and that she was honored to be entrusted with this opportunity.”

Though new board members have already been elected they are due to report at the RSO meetings during Sept. 11 – 13 where they will be guided about how to conduct events and run the organization efficiently. Timilsina will be guiding the new officers for their easy transition.

NSA is the largest international student’s organization in ULM representing more than 60 Nepalese students.

The event also marked the official launch of the NSA Application for Android by Krishna Sapkota, a computer information systems major.

The event ended with dinner followed by performances from new members of NSA.
