Our VinUniversity Library gives the opportunity for international students to work and socialize in a new environment. With the support of VinUni’s Student Affairs Management Department and Vice Provost Office, VinUni library has hired 04 international students to work in the library. It is part of the library campaign to support diversity and inclusion, promoting cultural exchange between students from Vietnam and foreign countries. The library gives the chance for international students to show and reveal their talents, and help them get comfortable in a new environment. The students were also asked to describe their impression and experience of working in the library.

“I have a previous experience of working in a bookstore and I am passionate about both reading and collecting books, so when Mr. Tony Tin caught me in the library and told me about this job opportunity, I immediately said “Yes”.  As expected, everyone was beyond friendly and greeted us with much hospitality.  This particular library is completely different from any of the ones I’ve seen before and working here means having a chance to develop new skills in modern technology.  Lastly, I would like to quote Mr. Tin: “The library will become your second home” and that is nothing but the truth”.
