The Malaysian Cultural Organization,
Budaya, is a student organization founded in Carnegie Mellon University.
Originally established in 1998 for the residents of the Malaysian community in
CMU, Budaya later coalesced with PPMP, a similar organization for students
studying at the University of Pittsburgh, in the year 2000. The organization
promotes Malaysian culture to the general community and aims to expose other
members of the community of the Malaysian heritage.
Our main objectives, apart from propagating and introducing the
richness of Malaysian culture, also include fostering closer relationships
among the Malaysian students with the Pittsburgh society. Budaya is also an
organization which is intended to maintain a close network of its members with
news of Malaysia.
