[Vnbiz] C.K. finished MBA

[Chuck Searcy]

Hoanh oi,

Congratulations to Cam Tu, and to you (elder brother!) for your wisdom and guidance through the years!  Wonderful achievement.  And you're right, the concept of Strayer University's "adult student" access and the possibility of  branching out to Vietnam is very intriguing and a little bit exciting.   It could create opportunities for a lot of bright, intelligent, hard-working Vietnamese whose circumstances kept them from higher education during their earlier years.

Dear CK and CACC,
  
 Last Saturday I attended CK's graduation ceremony.  She is a VNBIZer, once in a while she posts something so you may not have noticed her.   She is my baby sister.  I am the head and she is the tail of the siblings.  Her name is Cam Tu, but she goes by CK, which, according to her, stands for Crazy Kid.  She works as a loan officer and real estate agent and graduates from Strayer University with an MBA.  I have a picture of her and me here FYI.  
  
 But I want to talk about the interesting Strayer University http://strayer.college-info.org/ . This 115-year-old university, from its beginning, has devoted itself exclusively to serve "adult students," meaning, students who work full time while going to school.  It doesn't have a big campus.  It has little campuses throughout the US and other parts of the world.  As I sat in the arena for the ceremony, I said to myself, "Wow, this is fascinating.  Someone has devoted his work for adult college education 115 years ago.  This man really has a great vision.  (My law school, Marquette University Law School, a Jesuit school, is also the first law school in the US that opened night, part-time classes for (poor) law students about 120 years ago.  And I have always felt proud of that devotion to the poor).  Anyway, I thought I would like our brothers/sisters at home to be aware of a tradition of devotion to serve working students.  I hope we will have a university like this in
 Vietnam.  I would love to talk to Strayer to see if it can branch out to Vietnam. CK, you want to do that? 
  
 Coincidentally, the main speaker was a Strayer alumni, a four-star general of the US Marine Corps.  And he talked about leadership, my favorite subject.  He told the students, "Your leadership doesn't start when someone gives you a position or a big title. You leadership starts here, right where you sit now."   He had a couple of long stories, but his main point was:  "Leadership is your willing to sacrifice yourself, including your life, to help and to save others." 
  
 Great day, CK and everyone.
  
 Hoanh
