CSI Furthers Ties with Prestigious Vietnamese Institute
The College of Staten Island recently hosted a delegation of Vietnamese university administrators and faculty who traveled to New York to meet with CSI counterparts and work together to create new opportunities for students and faculty. The working meeting was intended to further an initiative to stimulate student and faculty exchange by collaborating on a dual degree project in the area of computer science and computer engineering. The new partnership, with the prestigious Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (PTIT), has developed rapidly over the past half-year due to the frequency of email communication and working meetings, held on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, via the Virtual Classroom and face-to-face site visits.
