The
Vietnamese Student Association was started in 1993 at the
University of Notre Dame.
The names of the founding members that created this club
has been lost among the sands of time. While no particular
person or group of people can be accredited to the creation
of VSA, the history and culture that molded and sculpted
this association still live on through it current members.
Contrary to the
name of the association, VSA does not just involve Vietnamese
people in their activities and events. The Vietnamese Student
Association is OPEN TO EVERYONE, regardless of race or ethnicity.
According to the club's constitution,
the purpose of VSA is to foster and promote the appreciation
for cultural diversity at the University of Notre Dame through
coordinating activities that further the exploration of
the Vietnamese Heritage. If you would like to participate
or contribute to the club, contact us by either e-mailing
us or contacting one of our current club officers.
Within
the group, we strive to strengthen the bonds of friendship
through numerous VSA dinners, trips, cultural performances,
and informal get-togethers. The VSA dinners has been a staple
of VSA activities for as long as anyone can remember. The
Tet potluck is the most popular, during New Year's everyone
becomes embroiled in the "traditional" Tet festivities
of the South Bend Vietnamese Community.
