Khmer Student Association (Formerly known as Berkeley Cambodian Students Association)

Q: Do I have to be Cambodian or Khmer to join?

No — the club was founded to unite anyone who shares an interest in Cambodia and Southeast Asian culture, not just those with Cambodian heritage.

Q: What is the difference between the old name and the new one?

The club was formerly known as the Berkeley Cambodian Students Association and has since been renamed the Khmer Student Association, reflecting the use of 'Khmer' — the ethnic and linguistic identity of Cambodia's majority people.
