“Lecturers play an important role in closely support their students and bridging the gap between the university and enterprises”

In the position as the Institute’s director, Dr. Nguyen Le Ha has always tried to bridge the gap between the university and enterprises by organizing several industry connection programs, notably the “Graduation and Enterprise Connection Day,” talk shows, seminars, and practical field trips.

According to Dr. Nguyen Le Ha, the common obstacles that students usually face are their shyness and hesitation when exposing to scientific research because they would assume and define it as a major problem on a macro scale. However, with interest and passion for the topic, Dr. Ha believes students have the talent and aptitude to follow through with their research project.

Indeed, Dr. Nguyen Le Ha is the person who always follows her students closely.  

“Lucky to be her student during my youth”

Nguyen Ngoc Thao My, a student from the Institute, said: “During the time conducting my research, Dr. Ha is really strict to us, but from deep down within our heart, we know that she just wants the very best for us".

Besides Thao My, the mutual feeling is shared by other students of the Institute when thinking of Dr. Ha while also expressing their profound admiration towards their beloved lecturer.

Dr. Ha could hardly contain her happiness while sharing that “The night before the report day, the team suddenly wanted to adjust their charts but ran into a roadblock. Because I was not physically with them, I was only able to guide them through text messages. When they succeeded in correcting their work, all of them felt so excited and sent me a happy emoji. I could imagine their joy on their faces at that moment.”

The achievement could not be possible without the silent dedication of the faculty and staff of the Institute of Applied Sciences led by its passionate and dedicated “captain” - Dr. Nguyen Le Ha.
