Summary: Prince of Songkla University, Pattani Campus, hosted an orientation to prepare students for their upcoming cultural and academic exchange in Malaysia, reinforcing the university''''s commitment to global learning and youth diplomacy.
On a quiet Pattani afternoon transformed by excitement and anticipation, Prince of Songkla University, Pattani Campus, came alive with a spirit of internationalism as students gathered for a special orientation. Hosted at the Wichian Suphakit Conference Room on July 30, 2025, the event aimed to prepare selected students for their exchange journey to Malaysia as part of the "Conversation in the Workplace" learning exchange program. The program, now in its second batch, will take place from August 3 to 5 at Universiti Teknologi MARA Changan Kelantan.
Students from various faculties were welcomed by university staff, friends, and mentors, all coming together to support this important moment in the students’ academic lives. The orientation was led by the Center for Corporate Communications and International Affairs, whose efforts in organizing the event reflected their ongoing commitment to strengthening international education and student engagement.
Presiding over the event was Mr. Banjong Chalermwong, Director of the Pattani Campus Office, who delivered an inspiring keynote. In his address, Mr. Banjong stressed the significance of cross-border learning, highlighting how education outside the classroom builds character, shapes communication skills, and nurtures leadership. He reminded the students that while they were about to explore a new country, they were also stepping forward as ambassadors of PSU, bringing with them not just their knowledge, but their cultural identity and the values of their university.
The orientation not only provided logistical guidance for the upcoming trip, but also set the tone for what the students could expect challenges, discoveries, and connections that transcend textbooks. Organizers ensured that every question was answered and every concern eased, making the atmosphere one of warmth, encouragement, and excitement.
Behind the scenes, faculty members, administrative staff, and the international affairs team played a pivotal role in the success of the event. Their collaboration ensured that the event ran smoothly, while also fostering a support system that students can rely on throughout their exchange.
This orientation marks more than a preparation session; it symbolizes PSU Pattani’s strategic push toward internationalization, and its desire to nurture globally competent graduates. By promoting such initiatives, the university continues to strengthen regional ties and foster a spirit of ASEAN unity among its youth.
As the students prepare to cross borders in just a few days, they carry with them not only luggage but also the hopes of a university proud to see its young minds step confidently onto the global stage.
