Vietnamese Student Association at Portland State University

What are some goals or plans you have for VSA this year?
My vision for PSU VSA is to make it bigger and better. I want to recruit new members from all different backgrounds, as well as retain old members. Not only would I like a large member base, but I would also like to get input from them. Fresh ideas are always welcome, and I think that since the club exists for the members that we should cater to members’ ideas. Through working together on many school-related events and hopefully hanging out when we’re not at school, I want to build lasting friendships with the members. I also want the scope of VSA to expand past school and extend into the community as well. By collaborating with outside organizations, I feel that VSA is on its way to making a name for itself.

What changes would you like to see happen this year and for the future of PSU VSA?
I would like the Tet show to have more of a theme instead of just a showcase for talent. That way, I feel that it would be more cohesive and run more smoothly. I would also like to see more attendance at VSA events and perhaps school and community recognition for our events.

Tell us the most exciting / bizarre / crazy thing you have done in one sentence or less.
I bought a bag for school that cost more than $200… crazy. (But I returned it!)

If you could live in any time period of Earth’s history, what time period(s) would you choose (or avoid) and why?
I would live in the 1970s when everyone was having a good time. J? I’d probably avoid pre-historic times, because you never know when you’re going to be eaten by T-rex!

Who is your alter ego persona?
Stacy London. At work, I like to help people transform their style and find the best fits for their body.

The ONE song you must have on your playlist at the moment or you would die.
Voulez Vous by ABBA. It’s catchy, you know. ;)

Lastly, if VSA President asks you out on a date would you accept? (And No, Noel, I can’t pay.)
Sure, if the meal is on him. ;)
