On November 14, 2025, the Cultural exchange night & Initiation ceremony
was held as part of the “Pharmacy Journey – PharmaSea” program to welcome the
Class of 2025 freshmen. This key event, organized by the The Faculty of
Pharmacy’s Youth Union and Student Association, formed an essential part of the
university’s series of activities for new students at Pham Ngoc Thach
University of Medicine (PNTU). The event created a meaningful opportunity for
freshmen to meet teachers, interact with upperclassmen, and begin familiarizing
themselves with new friends and the academic environment.
This year’s program featured several notable highlights, a larger scale,
and enhanced interactivity to better support freshmen in their integration. The
ceremony was honored by the attendance of the University Board, the Faculty of
Pharmacy Executive Board, and representatives from the Youth Union and Student
Association at various levels. Particularly noteworthy was a presentation by
Dr. Le Duy Tan titled “AI Applications in Information Search and Synthesis”,
which offered practical insights and greatly inspired the students.
A highlight of the Initiation Ceremony was the lanyard-awarding ritual - a
meaningful moment symbolizing growth and officially marking each student's
entry into the extended family of the Faculty of Pharmacy. A representative of
the Class of 2025 also delivered a speech expressing pride and determination
for the journey ahead.
In celebration of Vietnamese Teachers’s Day (November 20th),
Pharmacy students delivered heartfelt wishes and presented thoughtful gifts of
gratitude to the teachers. The program also honored outstanding individuals who
achieved the title of “Student of 5 Merits” at the Faculty level - recognizing
exemplary role models in academic excellence and personal development.
The event concluded in a warm and uplifting atmosphere. The Faculty of
Pharmacy’s Youth Union and Student Association extend sincere thanks to all Faculty
members and students of Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine for their
support and enthusiastic participation. Your contributions were essential to
the success of “Pharmacy Journey – PharmaSea”, creating an exciting and
memorable start for the Class of 2025 freshmen.
