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!
