Distinguished Teacher Le Cong Co beats the drum to welcome in the new academic year
Distinguished Teacher, Hero of Labor Le Cong Co, DTU President and Provost, said: “We are delighted to welcome K22 students to DTU today. Over the past twenty two years, DTU lecturers and students have overcome numerous obstacles and challenges on the road to building our renowned university. Meanwhile, Educators must improve their teaching quality to keep pace with the rapid economic, political and social changes worldwide.
