OSA history
• Office of Student Affairs (OSA) at Vytautas Magnus
University (VMU) was established soon after the restoration
of the university, i.e. at the beginning of the academic year
1990-1991, with the aim of assisting students in solving their
social problems that are not directly related to the learning
process.
