First Reunion Activity of SIIT Alumni
The Alumni Association of Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology
(ASIIT), Thammasat University, was officially registered on November 22, 2000.
The association was established to be a center for the SIIT alumni and current
SIIT students to exchange and share knowledge, experience, and views on
engineering and technology; to support and publicize activities of SIIT; to
cooperate and join with other organizations in contributing to the society; and to
communicate and to render help and assistance to each other when needed.
The first committee of ASIIT, which comprises 15 members, was elected and the
chairperson is Mr. Nirund Seangsuwanwow, who graduated from the Civil
Engineering Department in 1997.
About 200 alumni from the first five batches of SIIT graduates participated
in the first reunion activity organized by ASIIT at TU Rangsit campus on
Saturday November 19, 2000. In addition to visiting their rapidly developing
institute and meeting their classmates, they also had a great chance to
enjoy themselves in a soccer match and thereafter a dinner at the Aquatic
Center. Prof. Sawasd Tantaratana, the Deputy Director of SIIT, and a
number of SIIT faculty members also attended this event.
