Nguyen Thi Thanh said emotionally: “We will have many unforgettable memories of DTU which will always carry with us. During our studies, we received much encouragement from our dedicated and experienced lecturers, family and friends. I could not have earned an accredited American degree without their support. The road ahead will be full of obstacles and challenges, but we are confident that we can overcome them to realize our dreams”.
Trish Maguta said: “Besides offering high quality academic programs, DTU impresses foreign students like myself with such highly-experienced lecturers. I have been looking forward to attending this graduation ceremony for a long, long time and I would like to thank everyone for their enthusiastic and dedicated support, as well as and our families and friends, who have all enabled us to fully concentrate on studying.”
DTU Provost Le Nguyen Bao confirmed: “Today is a big day in your lives, as you conclude a journey of hard work in the classroom with excellent academic results. This is also a transition point in your careers. It is the moment to make a new choice, to fly out into the world to make a living, to continue studying or to start your own business. Supporting your efforts were the many years of hard work of our DTU lecturers and staff, who have already affirmed our position in the world of education. This can be seen in the impressive achievements in research, international collaborations and accreditations. DTU has ensured that each and every graduate can be proud of their DTU degrees, proud to compete with students from other universities and proud to be highly valued by employers and family.”
