About NETSA

New England Turkish Student Association, NETSA, is a 501(c) Non-Governmental Organization founded and managed by Turkish students in the New England Region of the USA. NETSA also represents the student groups in the region and acts as a unifying umbrella organization.

Our aim is to support new students in the region to successfully adapt to their new lives, ease the integration of students to professional life, promote student interaction with the rest of the community, and represent the Turkish culture, modern lifestyle of Turkish people in the best possible way. For this purpose, we organize several professional and cultural events at which we come together with all the rest of the Turkish and American communities including faculty members, professionals, entrepreneurs, and diplomats.

Our vision is to serve as a platform at which people from various backgrounds in both Turkish and American communities take a lead to promote cultural, professional, and intellectual exchanges. 

In the past, several organizations provided financial support that assists us to organize and run our events for students ( i.e. Bahçeşehir University, Arçelik, THY). This year, we will continue to organize activities and projects to improve students' development and strengthen their ties with Turkey and the United States. If you like to support our cause, either as an individual or as an institution,  please feel free to reach us.
