“Being an alumna of Mahidol University is a great source of pride. This university is a prestigious institution recognized internationally. We received a high-quality education and were instilled with knowledge, skills, and abilities that enable us to collaborate with global scholars confidently. Mahidol University also supports and drives development in all dimensions, while cultivating a spirit of service and a commitment to working for others, under the motto ‘Wisdom of the Land’ and the way of life as ‘Children of the Father.’ These values are the foundation that shaped us into good members of society. This pride is even greater now that I have returned to work at the university where I once studied, continuing the mission to develop, create, and pass on knowledge and experience to future generations, fostering high-quality academic successors.”
