New engineers and graduates “reach their dreams” in an emotional graduation ceremony

On August 18, 2024, the atmosphere at University of Information and Communication Technology (ICTU) suddenly became more bustling and exciting than usual. New engineers, graduates, their families and relatives arrived very early to prepare for one of the most important days of a student’s life – the graduation ceremony.

“Reaching the Dream” – the theme of this year’s Graduation Ceremony is not only a slogan, but also a reality for the new engineers and graduates after many years of studying. The Graduation Ceremony was held in two sessions: the morning session for students of Faculty of Information Technology and Faculty of Engineering and Technology; and the afternoon session for Faculty of Arts and Communication and Faculty of Economic Information Systems.

In his speech at the ceremony, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phung Trung Nghia – ICTU Rector emphasized the important role of the new generation of graduates in building and developing the ICTU brand.

“The new engineers and graduates are an indispensable part of the ICTU brand. You have the right to be proud of the achievements you have made. The knowledge you learn at the university is the valuable possession that helps you confidently step into the future in this period of fierce competition for knowledge,” Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phung Trung Nghia shared.

The most emotional moment of the ceremony was probably when the new engineers and graduates turned to the stage where their parents and relatives were sitting to express their gratitude. Many tears of happiness were shed, expressing the students’ deep gratitude to their parents, who have always accompanied and supported them throughout their studies. Many parents could not hold back their tears when witnessing their children grow up and be ready to embark on a new journey.

As one of the outstanding students, new graduate Nguyen Thu Ha shared, “Today, when holding my university degree in my hand, I truly feel my maturity. At ICTU, we have been equipped with professional knowledge and trained in skills and career orientation. I believe that with this knowledge, we will confidently enter the labor market. I am truly happy and grateful to ICTU for giving me such a beautiful youth.”

Over the past 20 years of establishment and development, ICTU has been affirming its important role in training high-quality human resources to meet the needs of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and the National Digital Transformation Program. With the vision of becoming “a leading applied and multidisciplinary digital platform-based university in Vietnam education system”, ICTU is gradually realizing its mission.
