On the morning of September 26, 2025, the Youth Union of Nam Can Tho University successfully launched the English Proficiency Enhancement Program for Youth Union–Student Association activities in the 2025–2026 academic year. This opening program kicks off a series of initiatives to improve English proficiency among DNC students, creating a dynamic environment for Union and Association members to practice languages, strengthen international integration, confidently join external affairs and exchanges with international students, and develop soft skills and future career opportunities.

The program began with remarks by Dr. Trần Thị Thùy, Vice Rector of Nam Can Tho University, who provided orientation and guidance for upcoming activities of the English Teams. She also encouraged students to take part proactively in language-learning activities.

“In today’s era of global integration, English is not merely a subject—it is a key that opens opportunities in education, research, employment, and worldwide connection. I hope the English Teams will continue to uphold unity, creativity, and innovation in both content and format. Be bold in proposing meaningful programs, build enriching academic playgrounds, and become the bridge that empowers all DNC students to confidently engage on the global stage.”

Following the Vice Rector’s remarks were introductions by the English Teams from 13 Faculty Youth Unions, 5 Student Association Branches, 4 Clubs, and the DNC Bilingual Primary–Secondary–High School. Each team presented its upcoming activities. With impressive appearances, bilingual (English–Vietnamese) and multilingual presentations energized the hall and delighted the audience.

The English Teams received Executive Committee appointment decisions from university leadership and the Youth Union. This marks a new start for the teams in the 2025–2026 academic year—a collective commitment to strive, grow, and contribute through meaningful activities.

The English Teams are tasked with organizing monthly activities; diversifying exchange programs and arts performances; promoting language learning among students; and hosting talk shows, workshops, and English fairs. They will also be the core force for English-medium events in the near future.

Also at the program, the Organizing Committee presented awards to winners of the English writing contest themed “Young Vietnamese Carry Forward the Nation’s Patriotic Tradition”, commemorating the 80th National Day of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam (September 2, 1945 – September 2, 2025). The contest received 207 valid submissions, which were posted on the DNC Youth Union–Student Association fanpage to celebrate the national holiday.
