Speaking at the meeting, Prof. Dr. Su Dinh Thanh - President of UEH - emphasized: “The Mekong Delta has possessed outstanding advantages and potentials for comprehensive economic development for the region and the country. The changes and challenges in the Mekong Delta require a highly qualified workforce to help fully exploit its economic potential and move towards sustainable development. I am very proud to witness the efforts of the teachers in the past time and of many generations of UEH alumni who have contributed to the development of the region. According to preliminary statistics, the number of students in the Mekong Delta studying full-time at the main campus in Ho Chi Minh City accounts for 16.64% and those studying in Vinh Long account for 82.5% of the total number of students. The number of students in the Mekong Delta graduating from the last 4 cohorts accounts for 18.89% of the total number of graduates. UEH part-time programs in the Mekong Delta were completed with 19,928 graduates out of a total of 79,042 part-time graduates (25% ). There are currently 356 students in the Mekong Delta region pursuing Master's degrees at the main campus and 692 students who have studied for a Master's degree in Vinh Long. This data is a clear demonstration of UEH's contribution to human resource development and knowledge transfer in the Mekong Delta region, especially affirming that UEH identifies UEH Vinh Long as an extension of UEH, a place to train high-quality human resources to contribute to the sustainable development of the region. UEH highly values the importance of connecting generations of lecturers and alumni through the UEH Alumni Network. This is a place to help generations of UEH students continue to share, to cooperate, and to support each other to develop and to promote the good traditions and pride of being students of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City. We believe that the quality of UEH is not only reflected in the curriculum and the skills that students are trained in but also in the successes of generations of alumni and students. It is you, the alumni, the talented individuals, who have contributed to changing and developing our homeland, contributing to the success of many generations of UEH students and creating sustainable values for society.”
