On the morning of 15^th June, 2011, students from the DTU Foreign Language Department and the International School had the opportunity to meet with those from Appalachian State University (ASU) in North Carolina, USA. Welcoming the ASU students were representatives and lecturers from various DTU departments.

Students of both universities had chance to understand more about the study environment and the many activities often held at each university. A guitar performance, songs and activities were enjoyed by all.

The ASU students also had the opportunity to discover more about Vietnamese culture, thanks to a short, witty presentation by Mr. Vu Van Thinh, a lecturer in the DTU Foreign Language Department. Many aspects of Vietnamese culture were humorously explained to ASU. Mr.Thinh also performed a Vietnamese folk- song that received a strong ovation from all.

The meeting enabled DTU students to meet American students and to practice their English with native speakers. They shared plans and dreams with each other, about their ambitions to improve their own lives and, at the same time, to help improve the lives of others.

DTU and ASU students will remember the meeting for a long time. Once again, DTU was given the chance to extend their relationship with yet another foreign university.
