The Harvard African Students Association (HASA) will sport a new and fresher look next year, led by a board made up entirely of first-year students.
The six new board members were chosen during a meeting Monday night.
Stephen C. Quarcoo '02 and Mwashuma K. Nyatta '02 will serve as the organization's new co-presidents.
They replace outgoing presidents Frederick Antwi '01, who is also a Crimson editor, and James I. Mwangi '00.
Karin J. Alexander '02 was chosen as the organization's secretary, Kitso Lemo '02 will serve as treasurer, Akweley Ablorh '02 will serve as publicity chair, and Ama K. Karikari '02 was elected social chair.
According to Lemo, five out of the six new board members served on the board this year as first-year representatives or committee chairs.
"It will be a young board but not an inexperienced board," Quarcoo said.
The group has big events planned for next year including a conference called the International African Students Association.
The event will bring together more than 500 African students around the Boston area in mid-March.
