On Sunday morning, October 30th, 2022, the ’20 Years of Establishment in the Faculty of Materials Science: Rejoint and Gratitude’ anniversary occurred at the VNUHCM-University of Science. This event commemorated a significant milestone following 20 years of establishment, construction, and development of the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology.

Dignitaries presented at the anniversary included Assoc. Prof. Lâm Quang Vinh, Director of VNUHCM-Science and Technology Department; Assoc. Prof. Trần Cao Vinh, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the University Council; and Assoc. Prof. Trần Minh Triết, Vice President of VNUHCM-University of Science. Also in attendance were the faculty’s teaching staff, leaders of member units in VNUHCM-US, former university and Faculty of Materials Science and Technology leaders, the Board of Directors of the University, as well as leaders from other universities, institutes, and partner enterprises of the Faculty.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary, sports activities such as badminton, football, and running were organised. More than 300 athletes, including students, alumni, officials, and representatives from different enterprises, participated. These activities aimed to promote physical exercise, foster connections, and create an exciting atmosphere leading up to the official anniversary celebration.

During the ceremony, generations of alumni reunited to listen to teachers and other graduates share their experiences and reflect on the 20-year journey of the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology. Despite many difficulties, the Faculty has achieved outstanding accomplishments in education and scientific research, making an essential contribution to its development at the VNUHCM-University of Science and Viet Nam National University Ho Chi Minh City. This is also an opportunity for the Faculty to express gratitude to the teachers and businesses that have supported it in the past. Additionally, eleven scholarships under the “Study Promotion—Talent Promotion” programme were awarded to students with excellent academic performance and difficult family circumstances to support and motivate them in their future studies.

The event took place in a warm, sincere, and emotional atmosphere. Alumni felt like they were returning to the shared roof and were determined to perform well in “Connect to Shine” to further spread the spirit of materials science and technology to future generations.
