Speaking at the ceremony on behalf of the newly appointed Professors and Associate Professors of 2025 and the staff members appointed to management positions, Prof. Dr. Ta Van Loi, Rector of the College of Business, expressed deep thanks and gratitude to generations of NEU leaders, teachers, faculty and staff, and learners for building a supportive working and academic environment that has laid the foundation for the growth and development of today’s workforce. As the University approaches its 70th anniversary, this milestone was highlighted as a source of great pride and a motivation for the newly appointed Professors and Associate Professors to continue their efforts and contributions.

Alongside this sense of honor, Prof. Dr. Ta Van Loi candidly acknowledged the challenges facing NEU in the new context, including the profound impact of science, technology and artificial intelligence on higher education; increasing competition in education; and greater expectations for leading experts in maintaining the University’s standing.
