| psa accepting nominations
for outstanding leadership and outstanding volunteer awards
(aug 16, 2005) |
| |
| Since the establishment of Pakistani Students
Association at University of Central Florida (PSA@UCF) in the spring
of 2004, we have made significant progress towards increasing the
awareness about Pakistan, its history, and culture among the UCF students,
staff and community. To date, the success of several events organized
by PSA@UCF in pursuing the goals and commitments outlined by the PSA
Constitution would not have been possible without the initiative,
hard work, and commitment of many of our faculty, students and other
community members. Consequently, during the summer of 2005, Executive
Council of PSA@UCF established the Outstanding Leadership Award to
acknowledge those individuals who continuously work towards achieving
goals set forth by Pakistani Students Association at University of
Central Florida (PSA@UCF). This award will be awarded to selected
students for recognition of efforts and services rendered in the enhancement
of the Image of Pakistan and their work towards creating awareness
of Pakistani culture, history, and traditions. Click here for more

| basant: the spring festival
of pakistan (apr 03, 2005) |
| |
| Basant: The Spring Festival of Pakistan
held by PSA @ UCF was a grand success. UCF community and community
from around the metro area gathered to Memory Mall to enjoy the festivities.
At one point there was estimated to be 250+ attendees with an estimated
total of 350+. The smell of grilled chicken tikka and fresh purris
filled the air. Children laughed and played while getting their faces
painted in the table setup by PSA. The youth of Central Florida showed
up in stunning numbers to fly kites and dance to the latest in Pakistani
pop. The attendees were blessed by beautiful weather. Kites imported
by PSA magically flew above the clear skies of Central Florida, letting
long time immigrants relive their long forgotten youths. The elders
of the community got time out of their busy schedules to chat about
current events with long time friends. The heroic PSA members gladly
repaired any kites that may have met their demise during a burst of
wind or battle with another kite. The success of this event makes
it evident that Pakistani Student Association is a prevailing student
organization at the University of Central Florida, despite it's young
age. The potential for this organization is limitless. We hope you
enjoyed Basant: The Spring Festival of Pakistan and ask that you join
us in future events. |

| double-wicket cricket tournament,
ucf softball field (feb 20, 2005) |
| |
| The sun was out and it was a great day to
play cricket. PSA's first ever double wicket cricket tournament was
scheduled to be held on February 22nd at 10 am sharp and in keeping
with the grand old traditions of Pakistan, the games began punctually
at noon. There were 7 teams in all, 14 players randomly matched to
each other, and the teams were divided into two pools. The qualifying
rounds were hard fought with some nail-biting last ball wins, and
when the dust settled, four teams made it to the semi-finals: Saad
Masood and Asaad, Zeeshan and Tauseef, Saad Ali and Farhan, and Adeel
and Yaser. Zeeshan had to retire hurt, due to a head on collision
with Zia during an attempted catch, and Hussain substituted for him.
In the semis, Saad and Asaad managed to down Hussain and Tauseef,
and Adeel and Yaser prevailed over Saad Ali and the irrepressible
Farhan in the other semi. That set-up the finale: Adeel and Yaser
vs Saad and Asaad. But what began in Pakistani tradition, ended in
Pakistani tradition, as the batting order of Saad and Asaad collapsed
pitifully under the gentle bowling of Adeel. Demoralized and exhausted
after 4 hours of cricket, Saad and Asaad conceded the game, crowning
Adeel and Yaser the first PSA double wicket champions. |
