[News] Completion Ceremony for the 3rd Cohort of the SNUAC Open Lecture Program

On December 19, SNUAC held the completion ceremony for the 3rd cohort of its open lecture program, Global Future Strategy Executive Program in Vietnam, in Hanoi, Vietnam. A total of 45 participants enrolled in the third cohort, all of whom successfully completed the program. Among them, five fellows received perfect-attendance commendations for attending all sessions of the 15-week regular course. As a result, the third cohort recorded the highest proportion of perfect-attendance awardees among all cohorts to date, demonstrating the strong commitment to learning among business leaders operating in Vietnam.

The third cohort also holds special significance for SNUAC. By reaching full enrollment in Hanoi for two consecutive years, the program has demonstrated the sustainability of its overseas open lecture initiative. Suhong Chae, Director of SNUAC and Professor in the Department of Anthropology at SNU, expressed his gratitude to the fellows for their dedicated participation. He also extended sincere thanks to the Seoul National University headquarters for providing institutional support for the university’s first overseas open lecture program, as well as to Vietnam National University–Hanoi, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, the partner institution that meticulously supported the program throughout the 15-week lecture period.

Representing the President of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University–Hanoi, Thi Thu Huong Dang, Vice President and Professor of State Affairs, reflected on the friendships forged between Korea and Vietnam through 15 weeks of shared lectures and discussions with Korean business leaders, noting that these bonds would serve as a strong foundation for future shared prosperity.

Looking ahead, SNUAC plans to launch the 4th cohort of the open lecture program in Ho Chi Minh City in March 2026, continuing to lead the internationalization efforts of Seoul National University.
