“This is the second time we’ve had a chance to visit DTU and we can all meet again, exchange ideas and strengthen our friendship,” said Associate Professor Christopher Charles Clinton, from the Keuka College Social Work. “In the near future, DTU and Keuka College will have an even broader cultural and educational partnership and we also anticipate that there will be many more opportunities for us to welcome DTU to Keuka College.”
The Americans will participate in a variety of activities, learn more about Vietnam, study Vietnamese and visit local attractions.
