Colleagues:

As many of you know, since 2000 the Sage Colleges have sponsored a regular series of Study Tours to Vietnam. These tours have included a wide variety of travelers from Vietnam War veterans to academics responsible for teaching about this subject and have been featured by many news organizations from the associated press to the BBC. With the above in mind I am delighted to announce the 5th Sage Colleges' Vietnam Study Tour now scheduled for June of 2006. This year's tour puts special emphasis on those areas that are usually covered in classroom discussions from the Imperial City of Hue to Dien Bien Phu and My Lai. If you would like to learn more about next year's trip please send me an e-mail or explore the following website. Also note that the website includes a short film on the previous Sage Vietnam Study Tours.
