Hello OYFA!
Thanks to everyone who braved the cold and came out to Winter Classic! Mad props to Sports for organizing the event and to all of our fellow D7 schools for attending and competing. Tech will be hosting Winter Classic next year, and its never too early to start GETTING HYPE.
We will be organizing trips to visit other D7 schools for their culture shows! Look out for sigh-up sheets from now to around Bario time. Cars and drivers are especially needed.
Good Luck and Happy Hunting,
Patricia and Brian

Student Advisors
Hi OYFA!
This week after the Historic Session, we're hosting Intercourse in Clark 108. Intercourse is essentially a large group discussion that gives us the opportunity to talk about issues relevant to our experience as Asian American college students at UVa. This year's Intercourse will focus on ways to branch out into UVa's vast social scene while still keeping our ties with cultural organizations. This is a great place to share your experiences for others to learn from, so we hope to see you there!
Then join us this Saturday at 6:30 PM location TBD for a special Board election prep Office Hours! If you're running for Board and you want some last minute advice/tips/tricks, come ask us questions! We have a lot of wisdom that we'd like to pass on to you. Also, if you can't make it on Saturday, feel free to contact us to make an appointment.
Ok, that's all lol

General Announcements
The Vietnamese Student Association is proud to present its annual cultural showcase, TẾT SHOW 2016: The Fault in Our Starfruit! This year, we present to you a light-hearted comedy of the Story of Bao and the Starfruit tree. Follow Bao's story from rags to riches as he learns about the rewards of compassion. Come and explore the Vietnamese culture through this wonderful skit interwoven with traditional dances, musical acts, and other cultural performances! The show is Saturday, February 20th at 2PM in Burley Middle School.
We invite you to come celebrate and divulge in VSA@UVA’s culture with us! This will be a show you won’t want to miss! There will be AWESOME raffles prizes and after the show there will be a free Vietnamese catered meal that we hope you will join us for!
Each year, the Class Trustees bestow three awards upon graduating students who have contributed significantly to the University. These awards will be presented at Valedictory Exercises on Friday, May 20 at 3:00pm on the Lawn during this year's Finals Weekend. We hope that you will consider nominating a deserving fourth or fifth year who embodies the qualities of any of these three Class Awards. Online nomination forms can be found on our website on the Class of 2016 awards page.
