DISCUSSIONS WITH PROF. REED DASENBROCK, UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT MANOA
, 11/03/2015 08:03On November 28, 2014, Dr. Tran Dinh Lam, Director of the Center for Vietnamese and Southeast Asian Studies (CVSEAS) met up with Prof. Reed Dasenbrock, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
The professor had some discussions about developing the relationship between the University of Hawaii and counterparts in Vietnam and in other Southeast Asian countries. The University would like to provide support for Vietnamese scholars, postgraduates and undergraduates so they can study there.
Then, Dr. Tran Dinh Lam also talked to Prof. Donald B. Young – Dean of the College of Education at the same university. The college’s educational philosophy is development for community. It acknowledges the contributions of donors and patrons, who have made invaluable contributions to education, in the annual News Magazine of the College named Currents. In addition to information about academic affairs, achievements of alumni and a list of benefactors with respectful columns, the magazine also highlights the College’s educational orientation, which is development for community.
Dr. Tran Dinh Lam (L) and Prof. Donald B. Young.
Sharing his concern over education from an administrator’s perspective, Prof. Donald B. Young wrote a message in Currents (Vol.36, 2014) “[…] we are indebted to our donors and friends who continue to support our efforts. We continue to grow in international relationships. […]”. He articulated the philosophy of serving community in order to create co-prosperity for all peoples.
For those who are showing concerns about offering support for education, that was really impressive. Vietnam should learn the US model of training human resources. It is only improving the quality of workforce that helps create internal strengths which are sustainable and self-controlled in advancing economy, culture and society. Intellectuals are vital to a nation’s future. The professor hopes to have more opportunities to provide support for Vietnam’s education.
