Hmong Student Association

The organization originally started as Hmong & Lao Student Association in 1987-1988. It became recognized on April 7, 1988 by Minnesota State University, Mankato. Due to the increasing number of Hmong and Laotian students in 1990, the Hmong students decided to form their own organization. Thus, Hmong Student Association was uniquely an organization of itself since 1990.
