On December 1 - 9 Mahasarakham University will be having its 44th Foundation Day celebrations.
The celebrations will open just after lunch on Thursday December 1 with a traditional street parade commencing at 1300 in the afternoon. The main street running past the President's building will be closed to traffic for the duration of the celebrations.
During the celebrations the MSU campus is alive with exhibitions, talent contests and concerts which are organised by and participated in by members and staff of all MSU faculties.There are many stalls open, including exhibition stalls created by MSU students from their relevant faculties and also by our Vietnamese, Cambodian and Chinese students. Here you can speak with students while sampling the delicious foods they have on offer.
As is usual with a festival event in Thailand there is a lively market atmosphere with many stalls set up where you can buy all sorts of foods and goods. It may be noted because there are many student 'customers' the prices seem to be a little cheaper than at your usual festival markets.
There is also a grand opening ceremony on December 1 and a closing ceremony on December 9 held opposite the President's building. Both are well worth attending. Both ceremonies include awards for academic excellence, speeches and extravagant entertainment of all types.
Mahasarakham University campus is the place to be for the nine days of December 1 -9. All are welcome to come along to help Mahasarakham University celebrate our forty-fourth birthday.
PS. For those of you in Bangkok it is not too late to join us. Thai Air operates three return flights a day to nearby Khon Kaen.
