Association of Vietnamese Scholars & Students

The Association of Vietnamese Scholars and Students (AVSS) was founded in August 2005. Its purpose is to provide Vietnamese scholars and students at Michigan State University (MSU) and from nearby universities and/or colleges with certain assistances, and recreational and cultural activities. It also aims at establishing and maintaining the friendship and professional networking among Vietnamese scholars and students, and between Vietnamese scholars, students, and the people of the local community. With the advantage of having members who come from all over Vietnam and the US and great support from Vietnamese faculties/staffs at MSU, the AVSS may act as a bridge connecting perspective students from Vietnam and MSU, connecting Vietnamese American scholars/students and Vietnamese international students and scholars, connecting those who are interested in Vietnam-related studies/issues and Vietnam.

Membership in the AVSS is open to Vietnamese scholars and students, and those who are interested in Vietnam-related studies and issues, at MSU and from nearby universities and/or colleges. Significant others included. The AVSS will not discriminate on the basis of age, color, gender, disability status, height, marital status, national origin, political persuasion, race, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status, or weight.
