In celebration of the 43rd anniversary of Vietnamese Teachers’ Day, the Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City (IUH) organized a series of meaningful activities to express gratitude to teachers and to encourage students’ academic and extracurricular engagement. Within this program, the University presented various awards and honored outstanding young individuals of IUH over the past year.
On November 25, the Labour Union Executive Committee, in collaboration with IUH Youth Union, held the Closing Ceremony and Award Presentation of the Cultural Performance Contest, along with the Commendation Ceremony for individuals recognized as Outstanding Young Faces of IUH. This annual activity acknowledges the remarkable contributions of staff, employees, and students, while nurturing a vibrant cultural environment across IUH.
Vibrant and Impressive Performances
Since its launch, the 2025 Cultural Performance Festival for staff and employees has attracted more than 40 participating units, delivering a wide variety of meticulously staged performances. At the Award Ceremony, the IUH Labour Union presented 55 group awards and 15 individual awards to the best-performing staff and employees.
Among the standout presentations, the joint team of the Testing & Quality Assurance Office – Library Center – Dormitory Management Office impressed audiences with their well-prepared, grand-scale, and artistic program. Under the theme “I Love My Homeland”, their “showcase program” depicted an artistic journey rich in epic elements, honoring the timeless beauty of Vietnam’s landscape and people. Opening with the powerful dance “Hào khí trời Nam”, the program transitioned into a medley including Nam quốc sơn hà – Đất Nước lời ru – Hào khí Việt Nam, resonating with the nation’s heroic spirit. The performance “Ngẫu hứng sông Hồng” brought a softer tone, expressing gratitude to mothers and sisters who stand as the quiet strength behind the nation. Concluding with the choral-dance piece “Tôi yêu Tổ quốc tôi”, the entire program symbolized a continuous flow of Vietnam’s history heroic, radiant, and filled with national pride. The seamless staging and harmonious blend of visuals, props, and choreography earned the team First Prize in the Program Category.
