Uyen Ta, undergraduate History major and Asian studies minor, interned with the United States Department of State’s Foreign Service Institute in Arlington, Virginia, where she used her history skills to research and write two papers—one on China’s relations with Southeast Asian nations generally, and the other on China’s relations with Vietnam specifically since 1975. Uyen’s papers will serve as background readings for Area Studies courses taught at the Foreign Service Institute. Uyen also prepared a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation on Vietnam for ongoing use in the training courses for American diplomats and other professionals.
