About San Jose State Vietnamese Student Association

The San Jose State Vietnamese Student Association (VSA) is a non-profit organization which was first founded in 1978 to encourage students' involvement in the Vietnamese community.

Although the myriad of faces has changed, and the association’s officers have come and gone, the spirit of VSA remains the same. VSA’s primary goal still remains to be able to reach out to the younger generation and work with them to advance their awareness of the social, economic, cultural, and political issues surrounding the community.

Furthermore, VSA is not just a club. It is an organization that allows each of its members to establish close familial ties, build strong bonds of friendship, and create kindred spirits among the Vietnamese community. VSA strongly believes that with the dedication of its members, and neighborly aid of its community leaders, we can all make a difference in building a better and brighter tomorrow.
