For Tue Nhi, carrying on her parent’s path and studying at RMIT has been a journey of pride and inspiration. Having witnessed both her parents graduate from RMIT when she was young, she dreamed of one day standing on that same stage herself. Now as an RMIT student, she holds a deeper appreciation for her parents’ journey and is grateful for their support – not only as emotional supporters, but also as two alumni who truly understand and encourage her. “When I compare my learning experience with my parents’, I can see that the ‘RMIT spirit’ remains unchanged: independent, practical learning and a dynamic student community. From group work to club activities and events, everything brings valuable lessons and unforgettable memories. Those things are just like what my parents used to tell me. I think that is why they had so much trust in me on this journey.”
One of the family’s most cherished memories was when Tue Nhi helped organise a student concert, which was exclusively designed for current students and alumni. She was the only performer who had both parents join the audience as alumni. It was only a moment, but for Mrs. Huong, it symbolised a continuing legacy shaped across generations.
“Our family is proud to be part of RMIT, and RMIT has truly become part of our family” - Mrs. Huong shared emotionally “We hope that in the future, more students and families will share this special connection, so that RMIT can be a home for many generations.”
From this story of three family members studying at RMIT, we are further inspired by another journey – one where siblings learn side by side. Each family has its own unique bond with RMIT, and it is this diversity that shapes a vibrant, supportive community where generations grow together with shared values and a commitment to sustainable development.
RMIT helped my children grow and become better versions of themselves
On Chau Giang’s graduation day, her family shared the inspiring growth journeys of their two children, Tran Vo Chau Giang and Tran Huu Kim, at RMIT. Chau Giang, a former international business student transformed from a reserved individual into a more confident, proactive person, developing essential soft skills and laying a solid foundation for her career. Her parents believe that RMIT’s learning environment has empowered Giang to improve her communication skills and step out of comfort zone. Through the vibrant RMIT community, Giang had the opportunity to form both personal and professional connections.
Her younger brother, Tran Huu Kim, currently a Finance student at RMIT, shared that “My sister inspired me to choose RMIT, especially through her responsibility, clear separation between study and leisure, and her professionalism in every task. I have not seen these changes in her before she enters university.” While the siblings have taken different developmental paths, they are both growing in their own ways. Giang demonstrates outstanding academic performance and takes on responsibilities through part-time roles on campus, Kim leaves his mark through active participation in clubs and networking activities. What gives their parents the greatest peace of mind is that both students actively share their learning experiences, allowing parents to stay involved in the journey.
One of the most memorable moments for the family was when Giang, a final-year student, and Kim, in his first year, took the same course and worked together on a group project. That experience strengthened their sibling bond and clearly highlighted how far they had both come. “The connection with a dynamic student community and a diverse network is what reassures us the most as parents,” shared by Mr. Tran Huu Phuoc and Mrs. Vo Tran Tran Chau, parents of Giang and Kim. “We hope that this vibrant community will continue to grow for generations.”
