About Us
OVSA - Otago Vietnamese Students Association. Yes, we are the Vietnamese! But you know what, V is not just for Vietnam, it also stands for “Variety”.
We welcome anyone and everyone whose different backgrounds, South East Asians, Asians, Pasifika, African... to come to join us and exchange our cultures. With that in mind, we aim to connect more members, both on campus and beyond, wishing to further flourish our ‘social circle’ and thus create more healthy relationships, we got each others’ back! Not stopping there, we also have an unquenchable thirst for promoting our beautiful Vietnamese culture through a range of fun, exciting yet informative activities throughout the year. You must have heard about Áo Dài and must have tried Phở, but there is so much more about our little S-shaped country for you to explore, if you let us show you our world.
Don’t be shy, feel free to come and join us! We are all funny weirdos wanting to make new friends and meaningful memories throughout our uni lives! Muck up that little courage, come join us, and we will take care of the rest - pretty sure you will have some fun (or heaps!).
