Mason Korea's global network expands in Vietnam

Last week, Mason Korea Campus Dean Joshua Park led a strategic visit to Vietnam to strengthen international partnerships across three key cities: Hanoi, Danang, and Ho Chi Minh. He was accompanied by Kelley Chung, associate dean of admissions and enrollment, and Jake Lee, admissions counselor.

In Hanoi, the Mason Korea delegation met with Vice President Nguyen Thi Ngoc Bich of Hanoi International College, signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to promote educational and intercultural collaboration. 

They also visited Vinschool, a K-12 school, engaging in discussions about future education partnerships. Additionally, the team introduced Mason Korea’s programs to approximately 90 students at Korean Global School and explored collaboration opportunities with the principal and staff of Vietnamese-Australia High School.

The journey continued in Danang, where the team strengthened ties with the University of Danang (VNUK), building on George Mason's existing partnership. Nguyen Van Huy, head of the Research and International Cooperation Office, described their collaboration as "a stepping stone for global education."

The trip concluded in Ho Chi Minh City with the signing of an MOU with Saigon Business School, paving the way for student transfers, faculty exchanges, and future joint initiatives. The team also visited the University of Economics and Finance and connected with the vice president and staff to discuss potential educational partnerships.

"It was a highly productive week in Vietnam,” said Park, reflecting on the trip. “I’m excited to bring these new partnerships to life and create more global opportunities for our students."
