Dai Nam University students have their thinking "unlocked" by global experiences.

In its journey to train students for an increasingly volatile world, Dai Nam University chooses a path that not only equips them with knowledge but also fosters long-term thinking, personal resilience, and a foundation of sustainable values. The training session "Learning and Doing for the Future," held on January 7th for class officers of cohorts K17, K18, and K19, clearly demonstrates this orientation.

A special academic highlight of the program is the presence of Professor Ha Ton Vinh – an international scholar in the fields of economics, finance, and education, who served as a Special Assistant at the White House (USA) under President Ronald Reagan. The fact that Dai Nam University students have the opportunity to directly engage in dialogue, learn from, and be inspired by a figure who has participated in global policy-making is not only a source of pride but also a testament to the university's educational philosophy: bringing big thinking and international standards to students right from the university lecture halls.

Sharing her thoughts on the program's significance, Dr. Le Thi Thanh Huong, Vice Rector of Dai Nam University, affirmed: “Dai Nam University not only educates students through classroom learning, but also creates open academic spaces where learners can directly access reputable experts from Vietnam and abroad. Inviting Professor Ha Ton Vinh is the university's way of instilling in students long-term thinking, a global vision, and a foundation of sustainable values to confidently step into the future. ”

When young people's thinking is "unlocked" by global experiences.

Drawing from decades of experience in the international political, economic, and academic environment, Professor Ha Ton Vinh brings to Dai Nam University students not only stories of success, but also experiences of failure and pivotal choices. It is this depth of experience that helps young people understand that maturity is not about finding the shortest path, but about building the right one.

The professor emphasized the two most valuable "intangible assets" that each person possesses: time and reputation. According to him, young people should not trade these two values for short-term choices or superficial glamour, but should instead identify their strengths early on and persistently invest in knowledge, skills, ethics, and kindness – the core foundations of long-term success.

Lessons that transcend space and time.

The sharing session went beyond an inspirational speech, becoming an academic and life journey guided by practical international experiences. From independent thinking and personal fortitude to maintaining integrity, reputation, and social responsibility in all circumstances – the values emphasized by the Professor are also the values that Dai Nam University steadfastly instills in its students through its training system and in-depth training programs.

The atmosphere of direct dialogue between students and speakers clearly demonstrates the proactive learning spirit of Dai Nam University students.

Student Nguyen Nhu Quynh (K18, Faculty of Business Administration and Marketing) shared: “The professor's lessons not only helped me understand the world better, but also helped me see more clearly my own path to maturity. I am very grateful that Dai Nam University provides opportunities for students to access such insightful and practical perspectives right from their time in university.”

Spreading knowledge – laying the foundation for a long-term future.

As part of the program, Professor Ha Ton Vinh donated many valuable books to the University – the culmination of decades of research, teaching, and international work. This is not only a gift of knowledge, but also a symbol of the enduring academic connection between Dai Nam University and prestigious global scholars.

The professor donated many useful books to Dai Nam University – books containing the experiences and knowledge he had accumulated over decades of his career.

“Learning and Doing for the Future” is a link in the chain of activities aimed at developing critical thinking, leadership skills, and global citizenship for students at Dai Nam University. Through continuous connection with leading experts, the University is steadfast in pursuing its goal: to train students who are not only professionally competent but also possess broad thinking, strong character, and social responsibility.

With the academic impact of the meeting with Professor Ha Ton Vinh, Dai Nam University believes that each student will carry with them a foundation of long-term thinking, directed action, and sufficient confidence to gradually venture out into the "great ocean" of the modern era.
