Hey y’all! If you haven’t yet heard, VSA is officially accepting internship applications! If you are curious about what it takes to be a VSA officer, or planning on running for office the upcoming year, this will be a great opportunity for you to apply for! Even if you are not planning on running for office, you can apply just for the experience (everyone always needs more EXP)! You will get to work with officers behind the scenes and it will also be a great way to hang out with us. Either way we would love to have you as a part of our team and to get to know you more! (Come on let’s be honest, we see each other more than enough and it would be nice to be able to see some new faces around!), so as a little promotion on our Internship Program this year, here are some blurbs written by the officers and their position to spark your interest! Or if you already made your decision on applying, and need no more persuading, just skip right to the end to find out how to apply!
President - Linh Ho
“Being president means being VSA’s ultimate organizational mastermind! Besides coordinating all meetings, organizational events, and being the chief spokesperson for the club you learn how to network with others, become more approachable and knowledgeable about VSA to be able to answer questions from others! Other than that be an intern for me and we can just hang out!” - The Boss
Internal Vice President - Vincent Lin
“The IVP is in charge of all events in the case of an absence of the President and to ensure that all officers maintain a good working relationship. The IVP mediates between internal problems that officers might have. As an intern, you will experience the inner workings of VSA and maintain a smooth relationship with other fellow officers. Also, you can learn about the little things that make VSA, as a whole, run well together!” - Vinnie Lin Yo
External Vice President - Crystal Huynh-Kim
“Being the EVP is as fun as you want it to be! You can coordinate any kind of mixer with any club that you feel would be an asset for VSA to mingle and network with. This is beneficial both socially and as a leader because you build lasting connections and bonds. Afterwards you are THE liaison between VSA and every other organization on and off campus! As an intern, you will be attending social events from other clubs not only on campus, but also other VSAs at other schools to show our dedicated support for them! You will also help me plan and coordinate events, mixers, and activities for VSA. So be an intern for me!” - Crystal :]
Secretary - Andrew Nam Le
“I’m the secretary. I send out e-mails, make powerpoint slides, in charge of sign-up sheets, and keep a record of our members. My intern would help me send e-mails and make power points.” - ANDREW. NAM. LE.
Treasurer - Diana Thanh Thao Hong
“If you like to:
Handle money.
Document finances.
Own a debit card.
Good organization skills.
Intern to be treasurer :)” - Diana ‘Make it Rain’ Hong
Historian - Linda Trang Dai Phan
“History is not an obscure topic nor a cluster of memories. It is neither archaic writing nor just printed images. As a historian, I sustain the life that we have learned to call ‘the past’. Through captured moments, not just pictures, we open ourselves to the rush of emotions that we all shared in that specific frame of existence. And I do so in hope that one day, not only may the future learn from, but also cherish these perfect moments they see. History repeats itself, and the love that is shared between us and our members is something worth experiencing again.” -Linda Phan is super awesome, man
Publications - Lawrence Nguyen & David Ducko Nguyen
“Publications officers are the designers for text and images such as posters, flyers and banners for all VSA events! Being Publications means being super creative and artsy, therefore your creativity is not limited to posters, flyers and banners. We are also currently needing some tech savvy personalities to help us design a website, so if you are up for it intern for us!” - Cutie Lawrence & The Duck Himself
Publicity - Jonathan Minh-Man Tran & Teena Tien Nguyen
pub·lic·i·ty/pəˈblisətē/
Noun:
1. The notice or attention given to someone or something by the media.
2. Public exposure; notoriety.
“Through effective and concise advertising, we get the job done! Booyah. Come hang out with us to help get VSA’s name out there to the public, be friends with all the members as well as assist the EVP in their doings. Don’t fight the urge and intern for us! Jonathan wants coffee.” - Jonathan Minh-Man Tran & Teena<3
Culture Chairs - Bryan Bui & Suzie Lam
“Culture Chair involves all the glamour of culture like casting actors, dancers, singers, and choreographing, and designing costumes and sets. But it also involves business too like finding sponsorships, booking theater dates, counting profit money, meeting a lot of people to make connections. As a culture intern, you will learn many different skills involving casting, money, and business relations. What can we say, we’re the do it all in one job!” - Taeyang Bryan** & Smooooth Suzieeeee
Philanthropy Chair: Kristy Nguyen & Linh Nguyen
“Other than planning for one of our biggest VSA events of the year: The annual bikeaton we also help seek charity opportunities for VSA to participate in. We also help plan and implement fundraisers for the our annual chosen charity! On top of that intern for us to hang out with some cool gals! :)” - Kool Kristy & lil’ Linh yo
