Ball State officials, along with four other universities, took a five-day tour to Vietnam last week in hopes of broadening international academic relations.
President Jo Ann Gora joined Ken Holland, director of the Center for International Development, and Tom Taylor, vice president for Enrollment, Marketing, and Communications to represent Ball State through the International Academic Partnership Program. The Institute of International Education in New York City organized the program.
Gora, Holland and Taylor visited 12 public and private Vietnamese universities while on tour. Holland said some goals in mind were to expand study abroad options, to recruit international students, to have joint faculty research and to help modernize the curriculum and teaching methods.
Marquette University, Northern Arizona University, Stetson University and Slippery Rock University were the other universities that traveled to Vietnam’s Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. The group of representatives met with other leaders of eight different universities at a higher education round table in Ho Chi Minh City.
“The visit was very successful,” Holland said. “Ball State will follow up with the connections made during the IAPP tour.”
