Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vo Thi Ngoc Thuy – President of Hoa Sen University also reminded the students: “In the past, people used to think that university is a place to prepare students for life, I think that university must be life – where students must be applied learning, close to real life. Besides developing knowledge, students will discover themselves, understand who they are, how their future path is useful to their families and society; are fostered in a sense of responsibility for their own choices, in a manner of kindness, and instilled with love. If college is just a preparatory model for real life, it will be a waste of a university education, a waste of four years of youth.”

At the ceremony, the traditional ceremony of handing over the flag of final year students to new students was also held, marking the transfer between generations of Hoa Sen students, let the next generation inherit and promote the values and foundations that the previous generations have built, develop themselves and master their own future. The opening ceremony of the school drum and the swearing-in ceremony were also performed in the solemn atmosphere of the ceremony.

Start the journey of “Be your best self”

Finding one’s self is a long journey and university is an opportunity to enter that journey, for young people to discover themselves and become the best version of themselves. That is also the theme of the Opening Ceremony “Be yourself, but be your best self”.

Mr. Haike Manning – Former New Zealand Ambassador to Vietnam shared his story of becoming the best version of himself.

Sharing on this meaningful topic, Mr. Haike Manning – Former New Zealand Ambassador shared: “Before, I never thought I would become a Diplomat. When I first entered the University lecture hall, like the freshmen here, I didn’t really know what I wanted to do after graduation. If you haven’t decided what you’re going to do when you graduate from college – or what your first job will be, don’t rush into making a decision – you still have plenty of time! As you grow older, it’s easy to get caught up in everything that happens around you. The pace of life is getting faster every day. This is why it’s most important to always be yourself, and be your best self. So: Right now, study hard, live happily, and always be yourself.”

Nguyen Ngoc Bao Tran – 3rd year student hands over the honor wire to his sister Nguyen Ngoc Viet Thi – New student receiving a talented scholarship.

Among thousands of new students entering in 2022, there are 22 new students receiving scholarships, in which, freshman Nguyen Ngoc Viet Thi is a special case when she and her sister are both students of Hoa Sen University. At the ceremony, Nguyen Ngoc Que Tran, a 3rd year business administration student, handed over the honor wire to her sister Viet Thi – representing all K22 new students. At this emotional moment, freshman Nguyen Ngoc Viet Thi expressed: “Hoa Sen used to be my dream and now, when this dream has come true, Hoa Sen will continue to write new dreams with me and my sister.”

Viet Thi did not forget to send a message to student K22 “School is the place where you can WRONG with the lowest probability of risk”. I believe that 4 years of university is not only about deadlines, not only specialized knowledge. 4 years of university at Hoa Sen is also an opportunity for us to be WRONG, to be RIGHT, so that we can grow up, shine and be ourselves.

18 sports clubs of Hoa Sen University were launched at the Opening Ceremony.

At the opening ceremony, special performances from Hoa Sen’s talented artists were also sent to the students. Especially, there are 18 sports clubs of Hoa Sen University with 18 leading coaches in golf, martial arts, dance sport, basketball, football…. were also introduced at the opening ceremony.
