VSA is a group of mainly Rice undergraduate students dedicated to the promotion and teaching of the Vietnamese culture. Throughout the year, we are involved in several community projects, such as the annual College Leadership Workshop (CLW) in the fall and the Cultural Showcase in the spring. In addition to several volunteer opportunities, we also plan to have informal gatherings, such as restaurant trips and study breaks to build friendship among students, faculty, and staff and to learn about Vietnamese history, language, music, and food.

Everyone is welcome to join!
