Harvard College Albanian Students Association

The Harvard College Albanian Students Association (HCASA) is a student organization at Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, founded in 2017. It is registered through Harvard's Student Organization Center rather than as a separate nonprofit, and it operates as a student-run group within the College's club framework.

HCASA brings together students of Albanian origin and students interested in Albanian culture, history, and contemporary issues. Its work centers on raising awareness of the social, economic, and political conditions affecting Albanians around the world. The group does this through community discussions, forums, networking events, and cultural programming that includes music, food, and film.

The association states that it is committed to working with the Children's Human Rights Centre of Albania, the diaspora initiative @teamalbanians, and a counterpart group at Columbia. That outward orientation places HCASA inside a wider network of Albanian student and diaspora organizations rather than treating it as a campus-only social club.

Its events are held on Harvard's campus in Cambridge, including in spaces such as Boylston Hall in Harvard Yard. While the membership is rooted at Harvard College, programming often welcomes a broader audience and connects the Harvard community with Albanian-American and Albanian diaspora life in the Boston area.
