Factors such as human resources and educating ethnic minorities were supposed to be the key to the development by the students. The question “What should be done to lessen disadvantages for ethnic groups?” also provoked interesting discussion. All suggestions given were mainly related to the investment in infrastructure and welfare services for those groups.

Back in 2001, New York University’s President, John Brademas, together with Prof. Grace Mishler, visited Vietnam and the HCMC University of Social Sciences and Humanities for the first time, which opened the door for future support for the Faculty of Social Work at the university.
