Students, families, faculty, and friends gathered in person and virtually for the annual Iftar, an event that was not only a celebration of community and faith to break the fast of Ramadan, but also a powerful demonstration of collective generosity while raising funds for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sps.cuny.edu\/financial-aid-and-tuition\/scholarships\/cuny-sps-scholarships\">CUNY SPS scholarships<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third annual Iftar was hosted by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sps.cuny.edu\/student-services\/student-life\/student-clubs-and-organizations\/south-asian-student-union-sasu\">South Asian Student Union<\/a>, they welcomed guests from both within and outside the CUNY SPS community. This was the first SASU event that had an entry for Non-CUNY guests. Their contributions would go directly to scholarships to support future students. The evening highlighted how cultural celebrations can be harnessed to meet real community needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"913\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2025\/06\/Kiosk-SASU-Iftar-2025-2.jpg\" alt=\"Kiosk SASU Iftar 2025\" class=\"wp-image-9099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2025\/06\/Kiosk-SASU-Iftar-2025-2.jpg 913w, https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2025\/06\/Kiosk-SASU-Iftar-2025-2-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2025\/06\/Kiosk-SASU-Iftar-2025-2-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2025\/06\/Kiosk-SASU-Iftar-2025-2-400x320.jpg 400w, https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2025\/06\/Kiosk-SASU-Iftar-2025-2-800x640.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of the South Asian Student Union.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe atmosphere was bustling with lots of different people!

The success of the evening reflects the values that define CUNY SPS inclusion, empowerment, and a commitment to giving every student the chance to thrive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Asian Students Mark Ramadan with 2025 Iftar Event Nasreen Quadir || May 15, 2025 On March 13, as the sun began to set over New York
