Keuka College was founded in 1890 on the shores of Lake Keuka, in the Finger Lakes area of New York State. The private university is accredited regionally, known for the high-quality of its education and offers undergraduate and graduate programs in Business Administration, Health and Social Sciences, Language, Education, Pure Science and Mathematics.
Associate Professor Christopher Charles Clinton, of the Keuka College Social Work department, said: “We signed an agreement with DTU two years ago but this is the first time we have met one another to broaden our relationship. We anticipate that there will be many more and look forward to welcoming DTU to Keuka College in the near future.”
DTU and Keuka college delegates
Musical performances and games were arranged by the DTU Sport and Arts Center which brought everyone together. First of all, the universities took turns to overview their countries, cultures and lifestyles, discussing differences in language, cuisine, traditional costume and tourist attractions in the two localities.
The Americans will participate in a variety of activities to learn more about Vietnam, studying Vietnamese, designing and tailoring Ao Dai dresses, cooking local dishes and so on.
