10/02/2019
People taking part in the Strategic Leadership Development Program for Senior Vietnamese Government Officials (S-LEAD) visited IU McKinney October 1, where they were hosted by Professor Xuan-Thao Nguyen.
The program offers leadership training to select senior officials for promotion to vice minister positions. It was created in 2015 and is supported by the government of Vietnam, Vietnam Initiative at Indiana University, and the U.S. Department of State. Two cohorts visit the U.S. each year for two months of research and training, where they work with IU faculty, take graduate courses, visit and study about different U.S. government agencies at the state and federal levels, and take part in an executive leadership program at Harvard University.

Professor Nguyen holds the Gerald L. Bepko Chair in Law, and is the director of the IU McKinney Center for Intellectual Property Law and Innovation. She frequently travels to Vietnam and other countries to present her scholarship and to train government officials. She is an internationally recognized legal scholar, known for her expertise at the intersections of intellectual property, secured transactions, bankruptcy, licensing, and taxation. She was named a Fellow of the American College of Commercial Finance Lawyers in March 2017.
