The mission of the Technology Student Association is to prepare our membership for the challenges of a dynamic world by promoting technological literacy, leadership, and problem solving, resulting in personal growth and opportunities. In order to achieve its goals, TSA offers recognition in both technology and leadership arenas. We believe that by participating in carefully designed competitions, students learn to do their best, thereby becoming "winners" whether or not they actually place in competition. TSA competitive events provide an excellent motivational tool in the academic environment.
TSA is an extracurricular extension of our Technological Studies curriculum. Strayer TSA is open to all Strayer Students.
