Interesting musical performances and activities, such as “Our Beloved Country and Islands”, the Flash Mob and Gangnam dancing, the “Duy Tan Next Top Model Contest”, display booths and traditional games attracted almost all of the DTU student body to celebrate the start of the new academic year.
Students enjoy the music
After the morning welcoming ceremony, the K18 students participated in team games and the musical performance in the evening was considered a special gift for them. The highly professional performances had a strong impression on the audience.
Students also enjoyed watching three beautiful female students who had gained high recognition results in recent national beauty contests. They were Miss Nguyen Tran My Linh, Miss Pham Thi Thuy My and Miss Nguyen Thi Xuan Trang. “I was the first year student when I entered the 2012 Miss Danang Pageant and the Miss Vietnam Pageant. I hope that K18 students will do well in both academic and cultural activities”, said Miss Xuan Trang.
The three winners of national beauty contests
In addition, the DTU IDEERS team, who were ranked 7th in the final round of the “2012 - Introducing and Demonstrating Earthquake Engineering Research in Schools”, (IDEERS 2012), competition in Taiwan, shared their experiences with the audience. The DTU Youth Union also awarded prizes to winning teams in the 2012 DTU Futsal Contest and to others for their work in the 2012 Green Summer Campaign.
The event ended with a dancing performance of “Crossing the Waves Together” by DTU students. Mr. Do Nguyen Khoi, a K18 valedictorian said: “The K18 Welcoming Ceremony was great and left a lasting impression on us. I feel very honored to be a student at the largest private university in the Central Vietnam. I had a good day getting to know other new DTU students and learning more about DTU and its achievements over the past 18 years”.
