2-Day, 1-Night at Green Living Hub Nguyen Van Linh
For many generations of UEHers, the dormitory was where youth began, and unforgettable memories were made. The dormitories at 135 Tran Hung Dao, Thanh Quan (now UEH Boutique), and 43-45 Nguyen Chi Thanh were once the “second home” of many generations of dormitory alumni. UEH Dormitory Day – “Embracing Belonging” is designed as a 2D1N experience at Green Living Hub Nguyen Van Linh, continuing UEH’s 50-year journey of connection together.
Day 1: Embracing Memories
The first day opens a journey back through check-in areas recreating UEH dormitories through the lens of time, reconnecting memories and stories of generations of dormitory students through familiar spaces and archival materials. Additionally, the “UEH Journey Wall” exhibition will showcase artworks, educational products, and stories reflecting the spirit of the UEH community throughout the past 50 years.

Alongside the exhibition, a series of sports and community activities such as football, pickleball, and sup boarding continues the spirit of solidarity that has long been a symbol of dormitory life at UEH.

The next activity is a sharing forum featuring dormitory alumni and their journeys after leaving the UEH dormitory, along with experiences in academics, careers, mentoring, and support resources for UEH students. After the forum, participants will take part in a dormitory tour to explore the modern UEH Green Living Hub Nguyen Van Linh – a next-generation living and learning space for UEH learners.

UEH Dormitory Day – “Embracing Belonging” is one of 22 key activities associated with the eight heritage values cultivated throughout UEH’s 50-year history. Under the theme “Embracing Our Legacy” these activities are designed as a strategic action framework. Each core value is not only revisited but also given a new role in shaping UEH’s development for 2026-2030 and UEH’s vision toward 2045.
Centered around five strategic pillars – Education, Research, Community Engagement, Governance, and Operations – the series is more than a commemorative celebration. It is a meaningful experiential journey where every UEHer can participate, reflect, and co-create the future from the foundation of UEH’s legacy and internal strengths.
UEH warmly welcomes generations of dormitory alumni to join UEH Dormitory Day – “Embracing Belonging” and continue writing the next chapters of UEH’s 50-year journey together.

Half a century has passed. From a book of knowledge with a nation-building mission in 1976 to today, UEH has grown into one of the leading universities in Asia. This is the journey of 8 heritage values that form UEH’s internal strength, preserved and transformed across generations of UEHers. From Unity – Compassion, which laid the foundation in the early years; Dedication – Community – Pioneering, which shaped today’s identity and standing; to Creation – Sustainability – Internationalization, which opens up the vision for the future. These 8 values crystallize into a heritage of internal strength, connecting the past, present, and aspirations, and continuing to guide UEH in co-creating the future. Stay tuned for UEH’s 50th anniversary celebration event: UEH Grand Anniversary “Embracing Future Together” On October 27, 2026, at A.116 Hall and livestreamed on UEH’s media and social media platforms.
