Mr. Jeff Heim said:“The PSU academic program has been developing very effectively at DTU. Many Penn State faculty members have visited DTU to teach in Hospitality and Tourism. We know that DTU in collaborating with many local hotels which will definitely enhance the education here. But you need to tell stories. You can’t just lecture and lecture. You will lose your students if you don’t tell them about your practical experiences to keep them engaged. DTU students are great. They are motivated and want to learn. I think they will be very successful in the future”.

Hospitality & Tourism lecturers were also taught the four transfer disciplines by George Ruth and Jeff Heim. Mr. Nguyen Cong Minh, Dean of DTU Hospitality and Tourism said: “We greatly benefited from the course with such experienced Penn State University lecturers across the four transfer disciplines of Restaurant Management, Introduction to Food Production and Service, Hospitality Managerial Accounting and Hotel Management.
