A Tribute to parents on VinUni Graduation 2026

In every journey of growth, there are always those who believe in us first, stand by our side, and give us the confidence to keep moving forward. Inspired by these “The First Believers,” the VinUni Community launched a series of activities under the same theme as part of the VinUniversity Commencement 2026, creating a heartfelt space where graduates, families, faculty, and friends could come together to celebrate, reflect, and share this milestone.

Throughout the 2026 Graduation season, The First Believers was more than a series of interactive experiences, it became a space where gratitude was expressed, cherished memories were preserved, and meaningful stories were shared before the graduates embarked on their next chapter.

One of the program’s highlights was the Wall of Gratitude, featuring the names of every member of the VinUniversity Class of 2026, arranged in the shape of a “V” – a symbol of the VinUni Future Makers generation and their shared aspiration to create lasting positive impact for their communities and the world. Beside it stood the “I’m Grateful For…” corner, where graduates, families, friends, and guests were invited to write messages of appreciation, encouragement, and heartfelt thanks to those who had supported them throughout their VinUni journey. Every handwritten note became a lasting part of the memories made on Commencement Day.

The event also offered a variety of memory-making experiences. At the Photobooth Corner, graduates and their families captured special moments and received printed photos on the spot. The Audio Guestbook gave guests the opportunity to record their congratulations and reflections in their own voices, preserving the emotions of the day in a uniquely personal way. Meanwhile, the Message Book collected handwritten wishes and heartfelt notes, creating a meaningful keepsake for the graduates as they celebrated this important milestone.

One of the most touching moments of the program was the collection of heartfelt letters from parents, faculty, and each graduate’s own First Believers, carefully placed inside every graduation box. Each letter carried words of love, encouragement, and unwavering belief—offering one final message of support before the graduates stepped into the next chapter of their lives.

Through The First Believers initiative, the VinUni Community sought to honor those who have quietly stood behind every student’s success while celebrating the enduring values of gratitude, connection, and belief. These are the values that will continue to guide and inspire the Class of 2026 as they embark on the journey ahead.

The VinUni Community extends its heartfelt gratitude to all parents, faculty members, distinguished guests, and the VinUniversity Class of 2026 for making this Commencement season so meaningful and memorable. To our graduates, we hope you will always carry with you the confidence inspired by those who believed in you first, and continue to grow as Future Makers, creating lasting positive impact for your communities and the world. May you carry forward the spirit of VinUniversity Graduation 2026: “Born in Vietnam, Built for the World.”
