Arizona Holds Reception to Honor HEEAP Participants
Officials from Arizona State University (ASU) recently held a strategic partnership reception to thank their partners in the Higher Engineering Education Alliance Programme (HEEAP).
The reception marked the achievements gained during the programme implementation. In attendance were Ms Rena Bitter, the U.S. Consul General, ASU President Michael Crow, ASU professor Jeffrey Goss, Director of HEEAP, and several other representatives of the programme.
ASU partnered with USAID and Intel Corporation to establish HEEAP in Vietnam in 2010. Now extended to 2017, HEEAP has attracted the participation of leading universities and colleges in Vietnam, including five top technical universities and three vocational colleges, with the goals of faculty development, leadership development and supporting female students’ interests in technical fields. The program is expected to expand in the coming years.
