Constantly seeing VSA@VCU and evolve not only within the university but within their presence in MAUVSA! When I was first at VCU, there weren’t that many people who were involved at MAUVSA, but throughout the years, it makes me happy to see us branch out as a university and become friends with other schools while also participate in leadership positions as well.
