MSU EXHIBITION AREA PROVES POPULAR AT RED CROSS FAIR

Mahasarakham University faculties are making their presence felt at the annual Bun Boek Fa Red Cross Festival which runs until January 29.

Mahasarakham University has a large exhibition area close to the centre of the fair with many faculties exhibiting at various times during the festival as well as showing their wares or performing on the MSU stage.

Many examples of the ‘university community’ will be on show including a life size formula one type racing car,  products for sale produced as a result of MSU faculties research and development, massage for health, artistic portraits caricatures and many more.

The MSU exhibition area is always a popular site and well worth the trouble investigating. You never know what interesting things will be on display or what will be happening live on stage. One thing which can be guaranteed is there will be something at the MSU exhibition of interest to engage any member of the community, whatever their age.

The students manning the exhibitions are knowledgeable and more than happy to engage with the general public in providing explanation on their particular fields of endeavour.
