HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!

From the desk of Dr. Nathanon Trachoo

As Vice President and head of Mahasarakham University Planning and International Relations Office I would like to wish all our readers a happy and prosperous New Year.

We commence the Year 2010 with a new look newsletter bringing it into line with the international branding process of MSU we are undertaking. Our innovative staff are busy creating an image for Mahasarakham University that will become easily recognisable from the university colours of gold and grey, the stupa icon representing Maha Sarakham Province, the geographical identification of MSU located in the heart of the northeast of Thailand and the cultural promotion of traditional Isan culture through our Pure Thai programs.

We now have experienced native language liaison officers producing publications in English, Chinese, Vietnamese and Cambodian.

Senior International Relations Officer Dr. Robert Rowe is engaging with faculties across MSU towards the creation of international programs to greatly expand those currently on offer.

Our 2015 goal is to be able to play an important part in the ASEAN educational system offering  international students and academics the ability to engage in academic excellence at MSU while experiencing and living within a cultural environment which will provide unforgettable lifelong memories.

On behalf of MSU President Dr. Supachai Samappito I extend a warm invitation to scholars and institutions world wide to explore possibilities of mutual international co-operation available at Mahasarakham University.

Wishing you all a happy and prosperous New Year.

Dr. Nathanon Trachoo.
