In late February 2007, while
Chinese New Year or Tet is celebrated in Vietnam, Portland State University’s Office of
International Affairs, Runckel &
Associates and some members of Vietnamese community had the
pleasure of welcoming Dean Thu Gia Hoang of Hanoi University to
Portland, Oregon.

Hanoi University is one of the
leading universities in Vietnam. The university strives for high
standards in foreign language and international studies programs and to
become a leading multidisciplinary language-based university for the
professionals responsible for industrializing and modernizing the
country. Furthermore, the university aims to become a regionally
recognized international university.
Dean Hoang is currently
Dean of
Tourism and Management of Hanoi University, though his responsibilities
cover far more than his title states. Besides heading up the
academic
sector of tourism, he has been involved in many aspects of education,
teacher training, curriculum and syllabus design and implementation,
and education quality control.
The visit includes a series
of meetings at the Portland State University and his presentation on
“Contemporary Challenges Facing Higher Education in Vietnam,” which was
well-received by the academic community. Afterwards, Dean Huang
met with some expatriate Vietnamese over a casual dinner. |
