[UEH 50 Years] “Place a Seat – Send a Thousand Legacies to the Future”: A Once-in-50-year opportunity for ONE UEH to join hands

9 July, 2026

Co-creating the milestone of its 50th anniversary, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) officially introduces the “Place a Seat – Send a Thousand Legacies to the Future” program to the UEHer community – an invitation to accompany and continue the story of A.116, the symbolic space tied to half a century of UEH’s development.

There are milestones to look back upon, to reflect on a journey traveled.

And there are also milestones for each person to choose what they will leave for the future.

For UEH, the 50-year milestone is not only an occasion to reflect on the values cultivated across generations but also a moment to prepare for the future.

And A.116 Hall – the iconic space of half a century of “nurturing talent and connecting people” – is one such choice. In its fourth renovation in 50 years, A.116 will emerge with a more modern, more international appearance, better equipped for academic activities, conferences, and innovation connectivity in the next phase of development. 

But what UEH wishes to preserve is not merely a renewed facility, but the depth of the values that A.116 has, is, and will continue to represent. That is the spirit of “co-creating together – Together We Share” of the One UEH collective.

Let us each leave a part of our story behind, to quietly shine alongside future generations.

The fourth “renovation” of A.116 Hall at the 50-year milestone is, more than ever, a time to preserve the imprints of those who have studied, worked, and grown under this institution’s roof.

It is a time to connect the generations of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Whether a blessing to leave behind, a sincere expression of gratitude, or a simple seat bearing your name in the years to come.

That is why the “Place a Seat – Send a Thousand Legacies to the Future” program is extended as an invitation for every former staff member, current staff, employee, and those who hold UEH dear to leave a piece of their story for A.116.

So that future stories may continue

One day, new students will step into A.116 Hall with the excitement of their first day.

There will be more graduation ceremonies closing one chapter and opening another.

There will be more academic conferences, new ideas, and meetings that create new collaboration opportunities.

The beauty of A.116 lies not in a modern, luxurious hall, but in the profound values it represents and the stories that will continue to be written within it.

This is precisely the meaning behind the “Place a Seat – Send a Thousand Legacies to the Future” program.

“At the UEH 50-year milestone, the ‘Place a Seat – Send a Thousand Legacies to the Future’ program is not just an occasion for UEHers to together renew a traditional hall. It is a chance for each person to leave a part of their story behind, so that years later, when another generation enters A.116, the space will still carry the companionship, trust, and affection of those who came before. That is how we continue the story of A.116, and of UEH itself,” shared Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Quang Hung, UEH President
