Following the success of the 3rd IUH “Teachers’ Memories” writing contest, and with the desire to create a heartfelt space for students, learners, alumni, and former learners to express their gratitude to their teachers, the “Teachers’ Memories” program has gradually become a place where the IUH community sends appreciation to those who have ignited passion and guided them along their journey of knowledge.

Dr. Lê Ngọc Sơn presented the President’s 20/11 congratulatory letters to IUH teachers
Over the four-year journey of the contest, the Organizing Committee often wondered:
Do students today still maintain the habit of writing? Can gratitude and affection for teachers be expressed through words amidst a fast-paced life? Yet, through four seasons, hundreds of stories, memories, and sincere emotions have been shared, proving that these efforts are not only meaningful but also help preserve the tradition of respecting teachers, nurturing teacher–student bonds, and inspiring the spirit of writing and sharing among IUH students.
The program has become a special bridge where students, learners, and alums reflect on their educational journey, honor those who guided them, and contribute to spreading cultural and humanistic values within the IUH community.
