Welcome!

The Stanford Vietnamese Student Association (SVSA) aims to spread knowledge and appreciation of the Vietnamese culture on campus and in the Bay Area. Because our culture emphasizes the family environment, SVSA embodies this message through the welcoming nature of our events. We invite everyone to join us in furthering our goal!

CONGRATULATIONS, SVSA CORE 09-10!

I've enjoyed every minute of the four years that I've been part of SVSA core; from my time as a frosh intern all the way to my time as a co-chair, it's been a blast to serve such an amazing group of individuals and such a wonderful community.

All SVSA members who have attended at least three events this year are encouraged to run as well. Please let us know if you have any questions!
