Many of you have requested a website especially designated for alumni of Vietnamese exchange programs and we are pleased to announce the launch of a "Vietnamese Community" at the State Alumni website: http://alumni.state.gov. Everyone is welcome to register at the website; to find the Vietnamese Community, select it from the list of communities on the main homepage.

The Vietnamese Community includes articles about Vietnamese alumni, job and grant announcements, discussion forums, photo galleries, and announcements about alumni events. This community is for YOU! Everyone is welcome to contribute content to the news and announcement sections, discussion forums, and photo galleries. You can submit information directly to the website, or you can provide news, announcements and photos to Mr. Le Thuy Duong, the content manager for the site at leDT@state.gov.

In addition to the Vietnamese Community, you will have access to the "State Alumni" website. The website includes information from various countries regarding their alumni activities, discussion forums, and international job and grant listings. You also will have FREE access to thousands of international magazines, newspapers, and academic articles via ProQuest and Infotrac. We welcome you to explore the website, stay connected, and expand upon your exchange experience.

Please let us know if you have any feedback regarding the site and its content.

Also, if you would prefer not to receive any further alumni-related messages from us, please contact me at leDT@state.gov to be removed from our list.
