S – Spirit of Pay It Forward

This component represents a unique experiential learning opportunity that integrates students’ academic studies with community-based projects, fostering a sense of responsibility as global citizens committed to unpaid volunteer work and the “pay it forward” spirit. Every student is expected to complete 45 hours of community service volunteering throughout their academic journey. These projects can be initiated by VinUni students, the Lead Faculty of Community Service Learning (CSL), or by any individuals and organizations within or beyond VinUni.

Students are required to document their service hours on Student Success, along with a service report that is validated by designated personnel responsible for this task. SAM is responsible for maintaining records of all validated projects and service hours and consolidating this data within the Student Success Platform. Designated personnel for this task include the Head of SAM, the Lead Faculty of CSL, the President of the Student Council, the Program Directors, Department Heads, or other individuals appointed by SAM as needed.

Because of the "pay it forward" spirit, we celebrate Giving Day on October 10th to raise funds for charity. This initiative aims to provide warm clothing, rice, and educational resources to students facing hardships in Yen Bai. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in their lives and foster a sense of community and support.
