On the evening of September 29, 2024, the Dormitory Management Board of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education (HCMUTE) organized the "Meeting New Dormitory Students K2024" program with the theme "Wings of Dreams – Soaring Knowledge."
The program, organized by the Dormitory Management Board (BQL KTX) in collaboration with the Dormitory Students' Union, aimed to help new students familiarize themselves with the new learning and living environment. It also provided an opportunity to connect with friends and the student community while offering important information to help freshmen understand dormitory rules and services. Additionally, the program encouraged students to participate in extracurricular activities, develop themselves through various movements, and provided guidance for their studies, equipping them with necessary skills for an exciting yet challenging new university journey.
The event was attended by MSc. Nguyễn Thanh Giang – Director of the Dormitory Management Board; MSc. Đỗ Thị Hiếu – Deputy Director of the Dormitory Management Board in charge of Student Movements; along with faculty members of the Dormitory Management and leaders from various units of the university.
In her speech, MSc. Nguyễn Thanh Giang emphasized the important role of the dormitory, not only as a place to live but also as an environment for students' holistic development, both in terms of knowledge and life skills. The HCMUTE dormitory, since its establishment, has always been a symbol of a healthy, exemplary living environment with a strong cultural identity. Through many generations of students, the dormitory continues to uphold this proud title. However, to continue this tradition, everyone needs to contribute and work together toward creating a dormitory that is increasingly civilized, modern, and safe—a place where friendship, knowledge, and youthful aspirations are brightly illuminated.
Following the program was the lighting ceremony, a symbolic ritual representing the aspirations, beliefs, and enthusiasm of the new students. The flame was lit by representatives of the Dormitory Management Board and the Dormitory Students' Union, marking the beginning of a new journey—the journey of discovering knowledge and pursuing dreams at the university with a rich tradition of technical pedagogy. The bright flame not only ignited hope but also embodied the spirit of solidarity, determination, and the vibrant energy of all the students currently living in the dormitory.
The program concluded on a joyful note, leaving a lasting impression on the new students as they embarked on a promising start at the dormitory. This event was not just a welcome, but also a message from the Dormitory Management Board about the importance of building a united and civilized student community. The bright flame symbolized the connection and determination to make the dormitory their second home, accompanying them on their journey to conquer knowledge at HCMUTE.
