Fulbright Hays

Group Project Abroad
Vietnam Study Program

The Seattle Community College District was awarded a Fulbright Hays Group Project Abroad in 2005 to support 14 higher education and K-12 faculty to visit Vietnam in order to work on individual curriculum projects.

In addition to four weeks in Vietnam which included high school/university visits and historical and cultural sites throughout the country, faculty participated in five pre-and post trip orientation, debriefing and curriculum/resource sessions. Our pre-and post sessions also involved key professors from the Southeast Asia Center at the University of Washington and a K-12 curriculum specialist. The grant also funded library resources for representative institutions. In order to participate, faculty from the partner institutions and sectors of education submitted proposals for curriculum they would like to revise or establish — and had full support from their home institutions.

A special thank you to Rose Dang from South Seattle Community College for her outstanding service in orientation sessions and as Faculty Leader during the Vietnam trip phase of the Vietnam Study Program.
