On August 11 MSU President Dr. Supachai Samappito welcomed Mr. Jose Collazo and representatives of the Embassy of the United States of America in Bangkok who paid a goodwill visit and gave a presentation to students on American Culture and Society.
Organised through the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences the goodwill visit was to provide information on mutual cultural exchanges as well as to give MSU students a greater understanding of modern American society and culture. Most Thai student’s knowledge of American culture is gained from watching Hollywood movies or music videos which provides a very different perspective from perhaps the true American society and cultural values.
A large audience of students, teachers and other interested people were in attendance for Mr Collazo’s presentation giving an indication of how popular the idea of travelling to visit or study in the United States is with MSU students.
In the afternoon the delegation visited some of the MSU Faculties including Humanities and Social Sciences, Politics and Governance and Accounting and Management.
