On March 20, 2009, Hawaii Tokai International College Vice Chancellor, Dr. Doug Fuqua, visited Ikh Zasag University in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and met with University President and Professor, Dr. Namsrai Nyam-Osor, as well as with others of the university including Ms. Davaadorj Nomingerel, who serves as Head of the Office of Foreign Relations.

President Nyam-Osor and Vice Chancellor Fuqua noted that HTIC and Ikh Zasag University (named after Chinggis Khaan) are relatively young institutions, established in the early 1990s, that have both experienced a great deal of success in a relatively short period of time, especially with respects to program growth and student body expansion and diversification. President Nyam-Osor and Vice Chancellor Fuqua discussed the possibility of educational exchange projects in the near future between their respective schools.

After meeting with the President, the Vice Chancellor was asked to address well over 150 Ikh Zasag University students to inform them about Hawaii Tokai International College's programs and offerings. He was overwhelmed by the cordial welcome he received from these students. His visit to Ikh Zasag University was topped off with a tour of the university's impressive paleontological museum, which houses rare dinosaur fossil and egg specimens.

Hawaii Tokai International College would like to thank Mr. Ninj Damdindorj, of the Foundation for World Education in Mongolia for his role in arranging the Vice Chancellor's meetings and tour of Ikh Zasag University as well as the staff and faculty of Ikh Zasag for their hospitality.
