On behalf of the DTU Board, Dr. Vo Thanh Hai gave an update on the university’s development. He said: “In 2010, DTU received a Third-Class Labor Medal, followed by a Second-Class Medal in 2014. In February 2017, DTU became the first private university in Vietnam to receive a Certificate of National Educational Quality from the Center for Education Accreditation and now the university is aiming to enter the Time Higher Education Top 300 ranking of Asian universities by 2022. To realize this goal, DTU is implementing several new plans, including the expansion of our international partnerships, improvements in research and the broadening of career opportunities for graduates. We are delighted to meet you all today and even happier to hear about your successful careers. This will encourage DTU lecturers to strive for more success in teaching and research in the immediate future.”
To commemorate their reunion, the K11 Finance and Banking alumni presented DTU with 5 million vnd for underprivileged, outstanding students. They also granted 3 million vnd to the estate of K11NH monitor Dao Thi Thu Thuy, who unfortunately died in a traffic accident.
