Attending the conference were Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hieu, Vice President of NEU; MSc.

In his opening remarks, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hieu, Vice President of NEU, acknowledged the important contributions of academic advisors during the 2024-2025 academic year. He also emphasized their pivotal role in guiding and supporting students, thereby helping improve the quality of education and student management at the University.

“Over the past academic year, academic advisors have demonstrated dedication, responsibility, and initiative in all their professional activities. Faculty members serving as advisors have not only supported students academically and guided their study plans but also provided psychological and career counseling, helping them clearly define their goals and development paths. In addition, academic advisors have consistently identified students’ difficulties and aspirations promptly to resolve problems, while strengthening connections between students, faculties/institutes, and the University. These sustained efforts have made important contributions to the University’s overall achievements in education and training,” Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hieu emphasized.

At the conference, MSc. Nguyen Hoang Ha, Head of the Department of Political Affairs and Student Management, presented the report on academic advising results for the 2024-2025 academic year and proposed priorities for academic advising in the 2025-2026 academic year, focusing on improving the quality of advising, applying digital technologies to student management, and strengthening coordination among units.

In addition, Dr. Dam Son Toai, Head of the Department of Testing and Quality Assurance, reported on the results of the student survey evaluating academic advisors for the 2024-2025 academic year, providing important data to help the University further improve its advising activities in the period ahead.

A notable component of the conference was academic advisor training for the 2025-2026 academic year, which introduced and analyzed new provisions in the Academic Regulations, Student Conduct Assessment Regulations, and Scholarship Regulations. The training provided academic advisors with comprehensive updates, enabling them to support students more effectively in their studies, personal development, and the assessment of their eligibility for benefits under the University’s policies.

The Conference on Academic Advising for 2024-2025 and Training for the 2025-2026 academic year concluded on a positive note, reaffirming the important role of academic advisors in building a professional, humane educational environment and supporting learners’ development.
