Good afternoon anh Hoanh, sisters and brothers!
Thank you so much for the best wishes. My brother's idea of bringing a similar or a branch of Strayer University to Vietnam is a great idea. In fact, I think I can do a research project on that and would love everyone to give me more information on the Education system in Vietnam. Strayer had given me a very flexible schedule to finish my diploma and carry 2 jobs. Some quarters I took online class and it was very convience to me. I am sure there are many hard working Vietnamese adults would love to go back to school and increase their knowledge depth. But they need an online class or late evening class hour to be able to accomplish. However, if anyone can help me answer this question, how much are they willing to pay for a class? What is a reasonable fee to charge ? It cost me around $1700 per class by the time I finished my MBA in Management.
I would love to hear everyone's comment on this topic, so I start working on this research and see if it's something that's possible to do.
Many thanks

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
