About Us

The Mid-Atlantic Union of Vietnamese Student Associations (MAUVSA) is a non-profit alliance of college-based cultural organizations from D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. It consists of local chapters from seven major schools throughout the region: George Mason University, George Washington University, James Madison University, University of Maryland – College Park, University of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University. The individual chapters have existed since as far back as 1976. After years of informal collaboration, the alliance was officially chartered in July 2007. MAUVSA seeks to unify the Vietnamese American community, facilitate communication and cooperation among the various schools, empower and develop young leaders, foster cultural awareness and education, and promote social justice.

"Raise Your Voice!" at VCU

February was a busy month for VSA@VCU. They had their "Raise your VOICE!" Week, VSA@VCU held booths throughout the Commons (Central Campus) and informed many people about VOICE. Armed with their passion and care for VOICE, they informed the public about their actions and urged them to spend money at our date auction. Titled, “Another Shot at Love," the show included over 18 performers and a little over two hours of great performances. VSA@VCU was able to raise $3000 for VOICE! VCU VSA’s President, Stephen Nguyen said, "I’m really proud of VCU's students and VSA's members for raising all that money during such a fun, charitable event. I shaved my head for charity upon reaching the $3,000 dollar mark and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The real question now is how next year's president will try to raise the bar for next year's CPP!" The culture show practices began with the show date set for April 26. More details regarding the culture show will come soon. VSA@VCU is very busy with their countless volunteer efforts at food banks. Lastly, VSA@VCU would also like to congratulate JMU and UVA VSA's for putting on some great culture shows!
