The Quang Trung campus courtyard was crowded with students in the afternoon. Students enthusiastically took part in “hot” games, music and a catwalk performance. They enjoyed the performances of Big Zero, All Star, The Fox and the autumn and winter fashion show, with clothes made from plastic bags and paper by the Accounting and Nursing Faculties. Things became livelier when happy students started to dance the Flash Mob together.
The K20 freshmen also received valuable information about study and research activities at DTU. Various booths presented the achievements of lecturers and students, faculties and clubs. The freshmen were proud to see examples of Vo Thi Hoai Tram, a DTU Valedictorian, who gained a full scholarship from the Bachelor to the Doctorate level, and Tran Huynh Tuan Son, a student who crossed the country by bicycle to raise money for the disabled.

“I was proud to receive my DTU student card and to sing a song praising for DTU. Although I have only studied here for a short time, I am thankful for the enthusiastic support of DTU’s lecturers and officials. This will motivate me to study hard to make my dreams come true. Today will be a beautiful memory that I will never forget.”
