SWEEP: Team visits Vinh University

 

This week members of the San José State University Social Work Education Enhancement Program team visited Vinh Univeristy, south of Hanoi in Vietnam. The team, including College of Applied Sciences and Arts Associate Dean Alice Hines who is the director of the SWEEP program, met with university leaders, faculty and students at Vinh University. Ed Cohen, a co-director of SWEEP, and Laurie Drabble, a team member, were also present to outline a memorandum of understanding between the College of Applied Sciences and Arts at SJSU and Vinh University. While in Vinh City, the group met with the rector and staff at a mental health facility. They discussed similarities and differences in mental health treatment services in Vietnam and the United States.
