Andrews University Myanmar Students Association (AUMSA) Mahā Stole
The Andrews University Myanmar Students Association (AUMSA) stole is worn by participants who identify with the Myanmar cultural heritage and are members of the association. The centerpiece of its meaning is the word Mahā (မဟာ), which translates to “greatness.” More than just a title, Mahā symbolizes the academic excellence, honor, and servant leadership that the graduates have demonstrated throughout their educational journey. As a mission and culture focused organization, AUMSA champions its core values to Empower, Belong, and Serve by promoting inclusion, cultural understanding, and meaningful community engagement. By wearing the Mahā stole, graduates proudly celebrate their cultural identity while reflecting the university's overarching mission to Seek Knowledge, Affirm Faith, and Change the World—committing to carry these noble principles with them wherever their future aspirations may lead.  (For more information or to pre-order - e-mail)
