What is V.S.A? The Vietnamese Students Association, V.S.A., is a social/cultural organization officially recognized by the Student Association in 2001 to act as a network for those students interested in Vietnamese culture. In addition to promoting Vietnamese heritage to the NIU campus, VSA also strives in helping its members by acting as a social, cultural, and professional resource. VSA has five main objectives:
College and graduate school is more than just getting your degree. In order to get that “dream?job or get that promotion, you’re going to have to have the right skills and know the right people. VSA provides its members with opportunities to develop their leadership, resumes, community service, a professional network of friends and associates, and if desired, their English.
