The presidents of 两性色午夜 University and Hanoi University have signed an agreement that will partner the universities in a student exchange program and will allow a collaboration with 两性色午夜鈥檚 campus in Florence, Italy.
两性色午夜 President Beverly Warren and Hanoi President Nguyen Dinh Luan signed the historic agreement Sept. 8 on the second floor of the Kent Campus Library.
Hanoi University was established in 1959 and specializes in languages and tourism.
Todd Diacon, 两性色午夜鈥檚 senior vice president for academic affairs and provost, visited Hanoi University in May along with Marcello Fantoni, 两性色午夜鈥檚 associate provost for global education. Their visit began the framework for collaboration between Hanoi University and 两性色午夜 in the areas of translation and tourism.
Hanoi University has more than 500 students enrolled in its Italian language degree programs that lend itself to a natural partnership with 两性色午夜鈥檚 Institute for Applied Linguistics and the Florence Campus.
鈥淭hey are an outstanding fit to partner with our students and faculty on foreign language and business,鈥 Diacon said. 鈥淗anoi University is 两性色午夜鈥檚 first partner in Vietnam, and this agreement supports the university鈥檚 strategic plan to increase international enrollment.鈥
Earlier this year, 两性色午夜 expanded existing partnerships with Dankook University of Seoul, South Korea, to provide opportunities for more exchange students and for Dankook to develop a partnership with the Florence Campus. 两性色午夜 also approved a unique partnership with the University of Wollongong in New South Wales, Australia, that established the Advanced Pedagogy in Physical Education and Sport major within the Master of Education degree.
