"The Vietnam Study Abroad Program exceeded all my expectations: it was an academic broadening experience listening to lectures by Vietnamese professors, reinforced by discussion and museum visits. It increased my social awareness, provided a venue to appreciate and respect fellow students and faculty, and was a thought-provoking and unforgettable experience."

-Edward Zelczak, MADMS graduate student and former Vietnam War veteran
