Arcadia University continued its commitment to global education and international outreach with a recent recruitment and branding tour across Vietnam. Jessica Ketterlinus, Global Engagement and International Student Officer, visited major cities, including Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hanoi to connect with students and educational partners interested in Arcadia’s academic programs and campus life.

The visit included individual meetings with educational agent partners as well as a large-format information session in each city, drawing both current collaborators and new prospective partners. These events created opportunities to exchange insights, discuss student recruitment strategies, and present Arcadia’s distinctive programs and opportunities for international students.The presentations highlighted several undergraduate programs with STEM designations, such as Computer Science, Cybersecurity, and Data Science, alongside other popular majors for international students in Business Administration and Health Sciences.

A special highlight of the tour took place in Hanoi, where Dr. Quang Dang Nguyen ’24DPT, a graduate of Arcadia’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program, joined the event to share his personal journey as a Vietnamese international student. Nguyen discussed how Arcadia’s supportive community and rigorous academic environment prepared him for professional success, including securing employment soon after graduation. His testimony reinforced Arcadia’s standing as a university recognized for academic quality and proven career success among its graduates.

Arcadia’s presence in Vietnam highlights the University’s enduring commitment to global engagement and cross-cultural collaboration. By deepening relationships with educational partners and alumni in the region, Arcadia continues to cultivate an inclusive learning community shaped by diverse international perspectives.
