Parent stories

Mr. Vo Tuy Linh, parent of Vo Tran Lan Anh, a Professional Communication alumna

Accompanying a 4-year learning journey, witnessing Lan Anh’s growth with an open mindset and a wide network of quality friends makes us very proud. As the environment at RMIT has shaped the student to be mature and independent, we have complete trust in our daughter and in the learning and teaching approach of RMIT.
