ABOUT US
Chao Vietnam aims to promote Vietnamese culture to all SMU students and ensure the well-being of the Vietnamese community within SMU.
Follow us on Instagram for interesting updates and posts about Vietnamese culture and our future events @chaovietnam.smu.
If you're Vietnamese and looking to join our 'internal' events (specifically catered to Vietnamese speaking community in SMU), or if you just want to connect with your friends and seniors, please reach out to @giaphuong_phan via Telegram.
KEY EVENTS
We're planning to organize some hands-on activities that help you learn more about the Vietnamese culture in the upcoming year, such as lantern-making workshop. Do look out for our EDMs via your school email and follow us on Instagram @chaovietnam.smu.
