Community
At VSA, we seek to enhance and promote the welfare of the Vietnamese community by creating a better understanding of what Vietnamese culture is.
Academics
While VSA may be a cultural organization, we emphasize importance in other aspects of life. We aim to encourage and assist members of Cal VSA and the Vietnamese community in furthering their intellectual development.
Culture
Vietnamese culture encompasses so many different ideas and beliefs. That's why we hold such strong belief in preserving and cultivating Vietnamese heritage and traditions.
What We're All About
The Vietnamese Student Association (VSA) at the University of California, Berkeley was established in 1979. VSA recognizes the importance of understanding emerging narratives about the Vietnamese American experience. This student-run organization also aims to create an inclusive environment in which its members can find a strong sense of community and support. Ultimately, Cal VSA strives to empower its members to become leaders of their communities and preserves the history and heritage of the Vietnamese culture for future generations.
