Christine organized a TechTalk at Google on very short notice. She usually needs a month or more, but I guess the administrators didn't know this. Here are a couple articles on this new university and the information below:

After making it as an entrepreneur in America, James Kim is fulfilling his dream of opening an university in North Korea that will offer, of all things, an MBA." Fortune

Abstract:
The opening of Pyongyang University of Science & Technology (PUST) was once thought to be an impossible dream. However, the first phase of the campus is now finished and ready to accept students in April 2010. Dr. David Kim, who serves as the Vice President of PUST, will be joining us to raise awareness about this first international university in North Korea (where the teaching language will be English), discuss recruitment of international faculty and explore fund-raising opportunities. Dr. Kim will share his experience in North Korea and also China as well. We'll leave enough time for Q&A from the audience. VC dial in is also available. Lunch following, please email if you're interested in joining!
