Prof. Dr. Pham Quang Minh spoke at the ceremony

Prof. Dr. Pham Quang Minh said: “The University of Social Sciences and Humanities is always proud of the team of former teachers who have built the tradition for the University. The next generations wish to cultivate that value, to be worthy of the school's slogan: Cherish the past, hold the future".

Currently, the University is one of the leading training institutions in Social Sciences and Humanities with 111 professors and associate professors, 17 faculties and departments, 24 undergraduate training majors, and 69 postgraduate training programs. The University's entrance students are highly competitive. To promote its 73-year tradition, the University aims to be in the top 100 universities in Asia.

However, the School still recognizes the aspects that need to be overcome. The number of articles and research works is still limited compared to international standards; not many works have been published internationally. Many students do not have adequate foreign language proficiency and soft skills. Thus, the School must try harder to be worthy of the stature of a major training center in the region and the world. Former teachers are a great source of motivation for teachers and students of the School to overcome difficulties. With teachers as a solid rear, there is nothing the School cannot do."

Associate Professor Nguyen Van Ham summarized the activities of the Association of Former Teachers in the past year: “The Association successfully organized the Congress of the Association of Former Teachers in October, electing the Executive Committee for the new term. At the Congress of Former Teachers at the National University level, the Association of Former Teachers and the President of the Association - Professor, People's Teacher Vu Duong Ninh received a certificate of merit from the President of VNU.”

Associate Professor Nguyen Van Ham spoke at the ceremony.

On behalf of the Association of Former Teachers, Professor and People's Teacher Vu Duong Ninh expressed his gratitude for the attention of the School's leaders. He also wished the former lecturers and staff of the School good health and longevity, and wished the University of Social Sciences and Humanities continued development in the new year.

Dr. Tran Bach Hieu presented a bouquet of flowers to Professor, People's Teacher Vu Duong Ninh

Representing the youth of the school, Dr. Tran Bach Hieu shared: “On the occasion of the upcoming Tet and Spring of Mau Tuat, I would like to send my best wishes to the teachers, those who have created the history of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. Wishing you a new year of health, longevity and happiness.”
