Vietnam Education Award Presented to CSU President and Vice President

The Central Committee of the Vietnam Association for Promoting Education (VAPE) recently awarded CSU President, Robert Mayes, and CSU Executive Vice President, Dr. Joe Manjone, with the Medal for Achievement in Promoting Education. They received this prestigious award based on their contributions to developing an international education program in Vietnam.

“This award symbolizes our commitment to providing quality educational programs in Vietnam,” said Robert Mayes. “We are honored to serve the more than 600 Vietnamese students currently enrolled in CSU degree programs through our affiliate, the Center for International Training Cooperation.”

The chairman of VAPE, Nguyen Manh Cam, presented Dr. Joe Manjone with this award in Ho Chi Minh City on September 29th. Most CSU Vietnam graduates have gone on to hold corporate leadership roles or now work for the Vietnamese government. Several of them have obtained positions in the U.S.
