Michael Di Giovine lectures at Vietnam National University, Hanoi.

On December 2, 2011 Michael Di Giovine became the first invited speaker in Vietnam National University’s new international lecturer series, organized through the university’s Asia Research Center. This event also marked deeper collaboration and exchange between the University of Chicago and Vietnam National University, which was formalized earlier this year between the universities' two presidents. Approximately 130 freshmen students in the international studies program attended the English-language lecture on UNESCO’s World Heritage and tourism, and many demonstrated their impressive English skills in an engaging question-and-answer session that followed. More information (in English) can be found at the Center’s website. (http://www.arc.vnu.edu.vn).
