“You have achieved glory, received investment from the University, and earned recognition from society. Now is the time for you to fulfill the responsibility of ‘spreading’. Use your intellect and skills to support and help other students progress together, so that no one is left behind. That is the highest humanistic value of education,” Prof. Dr. Nguyen Trung Viet stressed.
At the ceremony, the University’s leadership also reaffirmed its commitment to continued strong investment in infrastructure, modern laboratory facilities, and funding for the teams in the coming seasons.
