RECENT NEWS / HAPPENINGS AT AIT
Board Chairman featured on cover of @Weekly
Chairman of the Board of Trustees of AIT, H.E. Dr. Subin
Pinkayan, has been featured in the cover of @Weekly
magazine, a popular Thai language publication of Post
Today newspaper. Based on an interview conducted by the
@Weekly team with Dr. Subin, the interview features the
Board Chairman on the front cover and inside cover of the
20-26 December 2014 edition.
Titled “To Support Leadership, Innovation and Serve as the
Platform for Asian Cooperation,” the interview focused on
Dr. Subin’s 5-year goal to steer AIT forward as a platform
for international cooperation with a focus on benefiting
Thailand and the Asian region.
Dr. Subin stated that AIT “maintains a politically neutral
status, and is considered as an independent non-profit orga-
nization. At present, the institute has approximately 2,000
Master’s and Doctoral students, with 70 per cent being for-
eign (non-Thai) students. AIT is likely the only educational
institute in the world with such a large proportion of foreign
students,” he said.
AIT President Prof. Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai sent a New
Year’s message to the AIT community. Prof. Worsak stated
that while 2014 had been a year of “reflection, restraint and
rehabilitation, 2015 will be a transformative year for AIT.”
While expressing his gratitude to “the Board of Trustees and
all its Committees,” Prof. Worsak stated that “as we start
2015, you will be delighted to know that the financial fore-
cast at the end of 2014 has shown signs of sharp recovery. We
are now moving in the right direction, with renewed strength
and vigor.” He highlighted howAIT had regained the trust of
its partners, and was moving towards a greater diversification
of its funding sources to complement the existing donor-driv-
en model. The Library Modernization Plan and the campus
rebuilding was highlighted in the New Year’s Message.
