An Giang University
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Giang University (AGU) (Vietnamese:Đại học An Giang) was created as the second university in the Mekong Delta in 1999.[1] Previously, it was a teacher training college. The Rector of AGU is Dr. Vo Tong Xuan.
Remaining close to its roots as a teacher training college, AGU produces very many graduates who will go on to teach in the surrounding provinces of An Giang. In addition to this, and because Dr. Xuan's long history with agricultural and rice production, the school has very strong agricultural program producing graduates who will go on to promote sustainable agricultural development throughout the Mekong Delta.
The new president of the college is Mr. Le Minh Tung.
A new construction project of a larger university structure is taking place south of the current building structure. This is called South An Giang University, and is to be completed in 2009. The old, North campus will be primarily used by those studying in the department of education.
