About Vietnamese Student Association at the University of Virginia

The Vietnamese Student Association at the University of Virginia was founded in 1983 and is proud to be the first Asian student organization on Grounds. On Tet, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, a group of Vietnamese students resolved to form an organization promoting Vietnamese cultural awareness while assisting each other in university life. Over the years, we have helped to foster a growing Asian-American community and embrace a diverse student body. We have worked cooperatively with various Asian Cultural Organizations to build unity within the community. We have also strived to foster strong connections with other organizations both within the University and in the greater global community. Now, forty years later, we are still proud to carry on the VSA tradition. Although this organization has members who are University of Virginia students and may have University employees associated or engaged in its activities and affairs, the organization is not a part of or an agency of the University. It is a separate and independent organization which is responsible for and manages its own activities and affairs. The University does not direct, supervise or control the organization and is not responsible for the organization's contracts, acts or omissions. Our mission: The Vietnamese Student Association strives to create a community that raises awareness of Vietnamese culture, gives back through charity, and forms meaningful connections within and outside of the UVA student body.
