You may have heard CSUF VSA is having their first general meeting on Tuesday, September 20 from our last post about our ICC schools’ first general meetings, BUUUUUT to kick off a wonderful they’re hosting their 2nd annual Tết Trung Thu celebration! If you aren’t familiar with Tết Trung Thu, it is known as the Mid Autumn Moon Festival. Basically a harvest festival during the September/October season (right before other harvests, like Thanksgiving!), it is predominately celebrated by the Chinese and Vietnamese. Moon cakes and lanterns are staples of the Mid-Autumn festival celebration.

What am I saying? Come to the event this Tuesday to see a bit of what I’m talking about!

Official Facebook event here.

The Vietnamese Student Associations at each school in UVSA’s Intercollegiate Council (ICC) are now in session! Here is an in-progress schedule of general meetings coming up at our fellow ICC schools; come to support if you’re from another school, and network with loads of new and old VSA/UVSA members and staffers! For more information, contact UVSA Secretary Jennifer at jennifer.nguyen@uvsa.org.
