Do you know high school students who are interested in pursuing higher education while learning more about discovering themselves? If yes, tell them more about our educational conference and encourage them to apply for a fun and everlasting experience that'll help them decide the next steps of their life!
The HSA Educational Conference is targeted toward high school students to expose them to more information about the pursuit of higher education through various workshops. Not only will they gain knowledge during this educational conference, but they will also be able to meet new people and build connections. This year's theme is "Tshawb Nhriav: Discovering Yourself." Through this theme and conference, HSA will encourage its high school attendees to reflect back on their growth and look to their futures.
Our Educational Conference is happening soon in November! Applications for mentees will be open until October 22nd, so don't miss it. Mentee Application: https://forms.gle/VKkEQeXBZeVCRYN97

The Hmong Student Association was established at UC Merced in 2006, one year after the university was founded. As many multicultural organizations were being initiated, HSA became one of them. Since UC Merced was located in the central valley, the population of Hmong students attending was a substantial amount. The establishment of HSA gave these students an environment to feel welcomed by having an organization dedicated to their ethnicity and culture. Not only has HSA been a welcoming environment for those whose ethnicities are Hmong, but also for those that have been interested in learning more about the Hmong culture and looking for a group with open arms. Overall, the Hmong Student Association continues to welcome all individuals no matter what background to be a part of the tsev neeg (family).

The Big & Little Program is designed for our members to create a unique bond with each other. Rather than a mentor and mentee relationship which it may be mistaken for, the relationships between bigs and littles are more special as each individual is able to rely on each other and no boundaries need to be formed. It allows each individual to be vulnerable to each other and have a peep by their side throughout their journey in college and life. If you have any questions please contact our Activities Director, Sunshine Xiong ([email protected]).

Hello, we are sad to announce the cancellation of our Educational Conference. After much discussion with our officer board and communication with our school’s administration, we have ultimately decided to make the tough decision of cancelling our conference. As COVID cases are rising again, we do not want to expose our members and the community of that risk. We would like to extend our thanks for all individuals who have supported in sharing our event to your communities. We truly appreciate all the effort.
As the Educational Conference is one of our main highlights that our organization have always enjoyed hosting annually, it is truly unfortunate and disappointing for us to cancel the event this year. However, we are hopeful that we will be able to host an in-person Educational Conference in the next academic year.
Until then, we thank you for taking the time to read.

Our in-person one day Educational Conference this year is on November 13th, 2021 from 10am-6:30pm! We are extending our deadline to Nov. 7th, 2021 @11:59pm. If you know any high school students from around the Central Valley who would be interested in attending, please help share our flyer to them to apply!
This year, our conference's theme is on "Empower." With this conference, we hope to empower the youth to take initiative while embracing their own unique individuality and in doing so, empower others to do the same as well. We will provide workshops and opportunities for mentees to learn and grow as a youth while getting a head start in planning for their budding futures.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide transportation this year for students so we are opening up our conference to allow parent(s)/legal guardians to attend. We will also be requiring proof of vaccinations for all attendees prior to attending the event as well.
