Release Date: October 29th, 2008
Business Management instructor, Marie Johnson will give a free, public lecture “Vietnam Today," 12:30 p.m., Thurs., Nov. 13 in Triton Union 202 about her family's experience fleeing the war in Vietnam in 1975, and how she returned to the country to help reverse the legacy of war by planting trees in former minefields. Johnson volunteers with PeaceTrees Vietnam, a non-profit organization founded by Jerilyn Brusseau (also famous for creating Cinnabon’s recipe) of Bainbridge Island.

June 20-July 8 2009, Johnson and Hospitality and Tourism instructor, Beth O’Donnell, plan to lead a Global Citizenship and Cultural Immersion class to Vietnam. The class will include a 19 day trip to Vietnam with a four-day service-learning project with PeaceTrees planting trees, visiting schools, and meeting with landmine removal experts. The class will also learn about micro lending credit programs to small business cooperatives such as the Vietnamese Woman’s Union.
