The University aims to attract talent, introduce new fields of study, and focus on breakthrough research to meet the country鈥檚 scientific and technological development needs,鈥 the Vice Chancellor emphasised.
During the Opening Ceremony, the University received sponsorship from the Agricultural and Rural Development Bank 鈥 Binh Thanh Branch, which had consistently supported the University in assisting high-achieving students from disadvantaged backgrounds and other initiatives.
This year鈥檚 Opening Ceremony was particularly special as it occurred at a time when many provinces in the north had been severely affected by Storm No. 3. Therefore, prior to the event, the University issued a notice requesting that no congratulatory flowers be received from agencies, units, or partners. Instead, the University encouraged these organisations to redirect their floral budgets to the Viet Nam Fatherland Front Fund in Ho Chi Minh City to support those affected by the floods. Additionally, during the ceremony, the University called upon representatives, faculty members, and all students to contribute and support those in Northern Viet Nam.
On the occasion of the new academic year鈥檚 opening, best wishes were extended to all staff, employees, and students of the University for a year filled with enthusiasm and success.
