We are helping to create Fulbright University Vietnam (FUV), is a private nonprofit
university inspired by the American tradition of liberal education and dedicated to
serving Vietnamese society and the world though innovation in teaching, technology and
discovery.
FUV was announced by President Barack Obama in May 2016. You can read more about the
university on the website of the Trust for University Innovation in
Vietnam<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.tuiv.org…MXcUVNAuxmfNnPR48u4&e=>,
the US nonprofit which is supporting FUV. The university enjoys financial support from the
United States government and many private donors. FUV is building upon a two-decades long
effort by the Vietnam Program at Harvard University to promote institutional innovation in
Vietnamese higher education. (You can read about Harvard's involvement in this
initiative

FUV's flagship academic program is an undergraduate program in engineering and the
liberal arts and sciences.
We are now recruiting FUV's founding faculty. On February 9 we will be holding a
design workshop at the Science Center. Attached is a flyer describing the event.
We would be grateful if you could let your graduate students know about the workshop, and
about FUV's faculty search. Please do not hesitate to put anyone who is interested in
direct touch with us.
Many thanks,
