Honoring HSB’s journey of growth and innovation since 1995

Dear colleagues, alumni, and students,

Founded on July 13th, 1995, the autonomous HSB model has consistently led the way in education innovation in Vietnam, owing to the brilliant idea of outstanding founders such as the late Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Dao and Prof. Joseph Massey and invaluable contributions of the faculty, entrepreneurs, and alumni community, as well as valuable funding from the Vietnam–USA Peace Fund. The history of HSB always recognizes the significant contributions of all generations in the process of building, protecting, and sustainably developing HSB in accordance with the philosophy of humanity: “education is the most powerful weapon that you can use to change the world.”

HSB has established itself as an internationally recognized educational brand after 0 years of continuous growth. However, what is even more incredible is that it has become our shared home and the home of over 20,000 successful and happy alumni. These individuals are cultured, ethical, idealistic, and passionate, and they continue to learn, work, create, and make numerous positive contributions to the sustainable development of organizations, businesses, and the country. HSB is the first school in Vietnam with new and interdisciplinary undergraduate programs recognized by universities in the Top 100 worldwide for international credit transfer, such as University at Albany, State University of New York (SUNY Albany), and Hanyang University...

With three core values - Innovation – Pioneering – Quality - the HSB team and its faculty will courageously create and devote ourselves so that we can continuously develop the six core values ​​of HSB students, which are Health – Ethics – Will – Talent – Love – Responsibility. This is also the sacred mission throughout HSB’s long history: to train young talents to become excellent leaders, managers, and executives for both the public and private sectors.

Finally, there is one special thing we always remember whenever we mention HSB: HSB Culture. Environments and jobs may change, but members of the HSB family have been equipped with enough “thinking tools” and “action tools” to remain confident on the journey of seeking meaning in work and in life. Wherever we go, we will always carry in our hearts and memories the beautiful moments of the HSB family, the teacher-student bond, and the spirit of friendship and companionship. Many things may pass, but HSB culture will endure forever. HSB culture is defined by respect for teachers and the value of learning, a spirit of collaboration and innovation for the community, and an enduring commitment to standing alongside our faculty, students, and alumni. Come to HSB whenever you need support, and especially when you wish to share your ideas and contribute to the sustainable development of our HSB community.
