Vietnamese Student Association at UC Irvine (VSAUCI)

Vietnamese Student Association at UC Irvine (VSAUCI) MEETINGS EVERY OTHER WEDNESDAY (zoom)! Our organization continually provides students with the opportunity to learn and to participate in community efforts.

Since 1979, the Vietnamese Student Association (VSA) at the University of California, Irvine has striven to educate both the student body at UCI and the local community about the Vietnamese American culture. In addition to its dedication to the UCI community, VSA also works with the Vietnamese community at large.

Hello Vietnamese Student Association at UCI. In light of current events, it is important to acknowledge that although we are well into the 21st century, problems such as racism, prejudice, and discrimination still exist in our world today. UCI VSA does not condone nor will ever support ANY type of racism towards any type of person. In this club, we believe that everyone should be treated equally with respect, no matter their skin color. This is neither a debate nor a political stance.

With that being said, it’s important to also support those who are bravely supporting their causes during this time of need. If you or anyone you know wants to talk to someone about this uncertain time, please feel free to message any of our board members. We as a board hope to assuage some fear/pressure you may be experiencing during this time. Below you will find resources made available to you for active efforts and/or relevant information:

💲VIA DONATION: Being stuck in quarantine does not mean that we cannot help. Here are a few funds that go straight to the protestors, so anything you contribute will be directly helping you to voice your concerns. While these are just a few causes to which you can donate, we encourage that you research other funds to support if you are financially able.

🗣COMMUNICATING AT HOME: If you want to use your voice but are unable to go out, you can start conversations within your home. We realize that it may be difficult to speak to your parents about this sensitive topic. Below is a script translated into Vietnamese that might help assist. It’s important to keep in mind that our parents and elders were raised in a different time and that it takes effort and compassion to communicate to them. Please remember to try to be as respectful as possible when handling a sensitive topic.

💡EDUCATING YOURSELF AND OTHERS: Abolishing racism starts by addressing internal thoughts and microaggressions. Call out friends and family for derogatory language or offensive jokes. Promote an inclusive environment for all.

🌹 WHAT IS ROSE PAGEANT? 🌹
Rose Pageant is VSAUCI’s annual signature external event that strives to promote Vietnamese culture and beauty while uniting all of the VSAs across Southern California. Dating back to the first rose pageant in 2000, girls from VSAs all over Southern California come together to celebrate Vietnamese heritage on this night through dances, fashion, talent, and questionnaires while working together to help raise money for charity to give back to the Vietnamese community.

Additionally, this event gives VSA UCI’s performance committees -- including Level 5 Origins (modern dance), Trance (traditional dance), Gio Nam Mua Lan (Southern Wind Lion Dance), and Vocalotus (acapella) -- a chance to show off their pieces that they have worked on tirelessly.
