I would like to share with you some news on a recent event which I participate in organizing - the opening ceremony of the HUT - VEFFA library. It was held in June the 12nd at Hanoi University of Technology (HUT), Hanoi, Vietnam. The library opening event received huge attention from the Vietnam Ministry of Science and Technology (MOSTE), HUT’s faculty and students, as well as from the media.
Vice Minister Tran Quang Thang of MOST; Professor Vo Van Toi, director of the Vietnam Education Foundation; HUT’s Vice Rector Prof. Nguyen Trong Giang and VEFFA former president Nguyen Viet Hung, current VEFFA Representative Tran Viet Hung attended and gave their speeches at the ceremony. Attendees at the ceremony are also a special representative from Vinh University (Vietnam); the VEFFA members who are in Hanoi, as well as the HUT’s students.
This is the direct result of VEFFA's 2007 VnBookDrive campaign, in which we collected more than 1000 college-level science and engineering textbooks from the US and transported them to Vietnam. They will be made available to Vietnamese students and researchers at HUT and other universities through HUT's library system.
Our 2008 campaign has started, aiming to double the number of books collected. If you have books to donate, please contact me at anguyen?@uiuc.edu (? = 7) or visit the project's website for more information.
Before coming here I finished my undergrad at Hanoi University of Technology - Faculty of Information Technology in 2006. I then worked full time as Deputy Manager - AntiVirus Dept - Bach Khoa Internetwork Center until June, 2007. I came to Urbana Champaign in August, 2007 to pursue my graduate study at UIUC. To tell the truth, I don't like going to school, but I have done that for nearly years, and I am stilling doing it (wish me luck).
As you can easily see, it is under construction right now, so you will not find many useful information at the moment. But please come back soon, and I promise that this site would be much more interesting
This is an attempt to replace my old pure, static, html homepage, which is kind of boring. Hopefully, in the near future, you will be able to use this new site to do either one (or any combination) of these things:
get to know me better: I am a simple person, but even a simple person is very complicated. If you are working with me, or want to work with me then we should get to know each others' values and working method. I truly believe that knowing your parter will make the job much easier.
relax: I will occasionally write something funny, or put some relaxing stuff that I find on this website. Some people say I have a good sense of humor, and I do believe that (also I did not practice it very often, but this is my chance rite :D)
and maybe, just maybe, learn something new: I will again, occasionally, write about my experience in cooking, researching, studying,... and whatever. I am a pretty open type of person, and I tend to feel happy sharing my experience to the ones who need it. Usually, I will share it as soon as I experience with, because otherwise I will forget it right away (my memory is quite bad).
Also, if you have any comments, either on the content, or the outlook of this site, or anything related to me myself.. please feel free to contact me by writing your comments here.
