Speaking at the ceremony, Associate Professor Dr. Tran Le Quan, Principal of the University of Natural Sciences, proudly said that the new students of the school are the "golden seeds" that society has entrusted to the school, so that from here, talent and intelligence can continue to be nurtured, shine, and contribute to the country.

The school principal sent a special message to the new students of the 2025 enrollment: University is a journey of autonomy and responsibility:

"No one can read a book to the last page for you, nor can anyone help you overcome a difficult math problem. But the school will always be there to help you have the right method, lasting motivation and a favorable environment for development," he shared.

According to Associate Professor Dr. Tran Le Quan, in the digital age, students need to practice proactive and creative learning, know how to take advantage of the power of technology and exploit open sources of knowledge, and at the same time be alert in selecting and verifying information to avoid falling into a state of "disturbance" in cyberspace.

He also advised: "Train yourself to become responsible, ethical and dedicated citizens. Cherish the relationships you have here. The companions, teachers and experiences at the University of Natural Sciences will be valuable assets that will follow you throughout your life."
