Sometimes when Sikh students come to the United States from the Punjab region of India, they initially find themselves without the means to survive, said a Sikh Students Association member. 

This is when the work of the Sikh Students Association begins.

Depinder Sandhu, a graduate student in electrical engineering, said it is routine for members of the Sikh Students Association to meet incoming international SJSU students via Facebook or MySpace, and weeks later, pick them up at the airport and house them until they get settle into life in the United States.
