Emotional moments at the 30th anniversary celebration of the Sociology Department at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ho Chi Minh City

(NLDO) - The sociology training program accredited by AUN-QA shows the efforts to improve quality standards of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ho Chi Minh City.

On the morning of December 6, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (USSH) - VNU-HCM held a ceremony to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the establishment and development of the sociology sector (1995-2025).

At the ceremony, the speech of Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Thi Kim Xuyen, the first Head of the Faculty of Sociology, moved many people when she recalled the early days of establishing the industry from a small department under the Faculty of Philosophy - Ho Chi Minh City University of Science.

Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Thi Kim Xuyen emotionally shared at the 30th anniversary celebration of the founding of the sociology industry.

At that time, in the context of a lack of materials, new teaching methods and a small teaching staff, many teachers were still determined to build a training program and lay the first bricks for the sociology major at the school.

The art performance "Wings of Dreams" recreates the journey of sociology students over three decades.

The first lectures were prepared from extremely limited sources, but it was from there that the desire to understand society through science spread, creating a foundation for the industry to develop firmly as it is today. The spirit of dedication of the "first generation" teachers - believing that it is impossible to understand society without sociology - is considered the thread connecting generations of lecturers and students.

Associate Professor, Dr. Le Thi Ngoc Diep - Party Committee Secretary, President of the University Council of Ho Chi Minh City University of Social Sciences and Humanities, affirmed that from the beginning, sociology has become a key training major, contributing significantly to the formation of the face of Vietnamese social sciences in the renovation period.

Associate Professor, Dr. Le Thi Ngoc Diep also highly appreciated the practical research conducted by lecturers and students over the past 30 years, covering topics such as migration, urbanization, poverty, gender equality, environmental change, labor and digital transformation.

Many topics not only contribute to academic knowledge but also participate in solving urgent social problems, helping to formulate policies and increase community participation. International cooperation also opens up opportunities for lecturers to access modern methods, bringing research to Vietnam for students to access.

This is an opportunity for generations of lecturers and students of sociology to exchange and connect.

Sociology has trained many generations of human resources. Many people have held and are holding important positions in agencies, organizations and units.

The fact that the sociology training program has been accredited by AUN-QA shows the efforts of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ho Chi Minh City, to raise quality standards in the Southeast Asian region.

In the context of globalization and digital transformation, the need for sociological analysis becomes more urgent. From descriptive research, sociology is shifting towards solution creation, contributing directly to positive social change.
