VBNN Smart Education Group Hosts Guest Professor from Duke University

We were honored yesterday to welcome Professor Dr. Jiang from Duke University, ranked among the top 30 universities worldwide, to deliver an engaging two-hour lecture on the topic:

“The Coordination Role of Public Information and Its Application in Accounting.”

We also asked Prof. Dr. Jiang  from Duke University for his feedback on student participation during the lecture, which was attended by around 50 students and faculty members. He shared:

"Student engagement is excellent. They are well-prepared and ask interesting questions."

This positive feedback reflects the academic strength and curiosity of our students at Swiss International University (SIU) and its affiliated institutions. We are proud to foster an environment where global experts feel welcomed and inspired by the quality of interaction with our learners.
