Testimonials

"Without Sir Graeme, the British University Vietnam would not be where it is today. His wisdom, guidance and leadership were invaluable.

When he joined us, we had a small meeting room within one of our Apollo English language centres that was designated as the University project office. During his time with the University, under his leadership as founding Vice Chancellor, it blossomed from that one small meeting room to a 165 mil USD state of the art campus that today has well in excess of 3000 students. The Vietnam Government always enjoyed meeting with him because they knew he didn't just care for the University. He cared about higher education in Vietnam."

“I was fortunate to meet with Sir Graeme on his first trip to Vietnam. I had felt nervous about meeting Sir, but Sir Graeme was so kind and made me feel like we had met before.

Later, I was involved in arranging a small group meeting between Sir Graeme and a few media people, VIPs, and loyal Apollo students. Everyone was impressed with his stories and wisdoms, we all felt we went away with some learning. We had the same comments that he was so vibrant for his age and very personal in the way he treated younger generations. We all live once.

Sir Graeme’s passing away reminds us that we can lead a meaningful life and make impacts in great ways. Sir Graeme has left international legacies. Many of those people lucky enough to have had his touches will continue to make impacts on their communities and societies. Sir Graeme will be missed.”
