Founding

Mr. Le Cong Co, Mr. Le Phuoc Thuy and Ms. Nguyen Thi Loc met on 15 August 1992 to form a committee to campaign for the establishment of the "Private University of Central Vietnam." Mr. Le Cong Co was elected to head the committee.

Their mission included :

Initiating administrative procedures and preparing legal documents, including the University Development Plan, University Operation Regulations and University Personnel Plan, for the establishment of the Council of University Founders.

Implementing tasks, such as setting up the University Representative Office and preparing academic facilities for operation, once the University Establishment License was officially granted.

Searching for candidates to join the Council of University Founders.

The most difficult issue at that point was to acquire funding to implement their mission. Mr. Le Cong Co had mortgaged his home to the Commercial Joint-Stock Bank of Danang to finance the campaign and, two years later, would remortgage to acquire enough capital for the construction of school facilities.
