Mr Nguyen Huu Nhan, an associate lecturer, who has been at RMIT since 2003, was so happy to see his students again at the reunion: “I cannot remember how many thousands of students have taught. I absolutely love the fact that so many of them are out there, becoming the leaders and captains of industry, doing good things, and being successful.”
