VSA at UCI Since 1979, the Vietnamese Student Association (VSA) at the University of California, Irvine has striven to educate both the student body at UCI and the local community about the Vietnamese American culture. Our organization continually provides students with the opportunity to learn and to participate in community efforts. In addition to its dedication to the UCI community, VSA also works with the Vietnamese community at large. VSA at UCI has a long and rich tradition within the UCI campus, as well as the community, as we are one of the oldest VSAs in the area. VSA prides itself in its involvement in an array of community-based programs such as a mentorship program with local high schools, participation in the annual Lunar New Years Festival, and numerous activities with other Vietnamese organizations throughout Southern California.OUR MISSION VSA strives to preserve and promote the Vietnamese culture at UCI through creative and entertaining weekly meetings, as well as by offering a wide range of social and cultural activities geared towards varying member talents and interests. VSA members can partake in various activities such as intramural sports, modern dance, traditional dance, lion dance, choir, acting, and much more. Major events hosted annually include the annual Rose Pageant and Vietnamese Culture Night, open to all students and surrounding communities.

UVSA
The Union of Vietnamese Student Associations of Southern California (UVSA), a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-partisan, community-based organization, was founded in 1982 as a mean for youths to organize socially and politically within the local community. Committed to cultural awareness, educating youths, and community service, the UVSA staff is composed of volunteers including UVSA alumni, young professionals, educators, and college and high school students. Encompassing the finest young leaders in the Vietnamese American community, UVSA strives to accomplish its goals of educational, charitable, and cultural programs. Servicing the Vietnamese American community of Southern California, UVSA works collaboratively with local Vietnamese American youth organizations in the Southern California area. To these ends, we organize a wide range of social, cultural, political, and educational activities to help Vietnamese American youths develop a sense of their heritage and identity. Our organizational goals include:* Bringing together students from different colleges and high schools to build unity and solidarity between Vietnamese American youths in Southern California, in the United States, and in the international Vietnamese community.* Representing the diverse and dynamic Vietnamese youth population by encouraging interaction, participation, and activism in the Vietnamese American community.* Promoting awareness of the Vietnamese culture, language, and history.* Encouraging a growth of leadership and service amongst Vietnamese youths.Member SchoolsCal Poly PomonaCal State FullertonCal State Los AngelesCal State Long BeachCal State San BernardinoGolden West CollegeMt.
