Faculty members from Duy Tan University in Vietnam were greeted at Pittsburgh International Airport early Sunday morning by the Nittany Lion and staff from Penn State's campus in McKeesport, including Rosemarie Piccioni, director of continuing education, and Kurt Torell, director of academic affairs.

About 100 business school faculty from Duy Tan will be trained at the university's Greater Allegheny Campus over the next four years in Western-style educational methods. Training began today, according to Linda Curinga, campus spokeswoman.

The faculty are staying in the campus' McKeesport Hall dormitory during the session, Piccioni says.

Beginning this year, Penn State Greater Allegheny also will send two faculty members from McKeesport to Duy Tan every semester for at least two weeks.

"Establishing this program meets the needs of both institutions in expanding our international initiatives," says Curtiss Porter, chancellor of Penn State Greater Allegheny.

"Our agreement extends the internationalizing of Penn State and also extends the international capacity of Duy Tan University," Porter says. "Penn State business faculty teach at a world-class standard. Duy Tan faculty will benefit from this widely respected experience. Duy Tan students will be the effective beneficiaries of this joint effort."
