Last weekend, MVSD Executive Assistant @itskaceytran and MVSD First Princess 2024 @jjennifermy came together to spread joy and create handmade cards for those facing adversity! 💖

They are sending their cards through @cardzforkidz, an organization that sends inspiring, handmade cards to children in hospitals, seniors, and veterans/those in the military to uplift their days!

MVSD continuously inspires to make a difference in our communities. No matter how big or small, an act of kindness, such as sending words of encouragement, can make an impact on a person’s day. 🫶

#ICYMI

The Buddy Mixer on Monday evening at El Jefe restaurant in Pomona was a blast!

Our 1st and 2nd-year students, along with members of the OSA team, enjoyed a night of great food, lively conversation, and building connections.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made it such a memorable event! 🎉🍽️

After the presentations and demos, prospective students had the chance to practice, guided by Drs. Schuh and Augustus.

It was a hands-on experience that allowed them to apply their newfound skills and get a real feel for the profession, making the day even more exciting and insightful.

Excited to have been part of Vietnamese Culture Night (VCN) at UC San Diego, an event dedicated to celebrating Vietnamese culture, heritage, and history! Great job to all the staff and performers who made the 27th annual VCN an unforgettable experience, with special applause to our Second Princess Angelina Hồng Mai Phan. We loved the traditional and modern Vietnamese dance attire!

Thank you UC San Diego for inviting us to your 27th annual VCN! 🥳✨

wrapping up one of my proudest accomplishments 🪷

my bittersweet third and final year as pageant director. these past 3 years, i have had the privilege of co-leading miss vietnam san diego and the beautiful young women this program empowers. the community of mvsd is absolutely incredible, and y’all make me so proud to be a part of it. to everyone who has taken on a role in supporting these girls (MVSD + VAYA staff, sponsors, judges, alum), thank you so much 🫶🏼

i’ll be taking a step back as pageant advisor and passing it off to our new staff to lead! to our alum turned staff, watching you continue to grow as leaders truly unlocks a new level of pride. thank you everyone for your hard work and endless passion. MVSD will forever have a place in my heart 🩷
