A Message from the President

“Greetings to all new graduates of Khon Kaen University.

On behalf of Khon Kaen University, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the graduates and welcome you back to Khon Kaen University as you attend the Royal Degree Conferment Ceremony this year.

Successfully completing your studies at Khon Kaen University and receiving your degree clear evidence of your discipline, perseverance, and commitment to learning, which have culminated in this important achievement.

Your life following graduation will focus on professional responsibilities and real-world challenges, which will differ significantly from your time as students. In today’s rapidly changing global landscape, I believe that graduates who have already entered the workforce are well aware of how quickly society, technology, and professional expectations continue to evolve. Therefore, it is essential that every graduate continuously learns, seeks new knowledge, and develops relevant skills to remain adaptable and professionally successful. This commitment to lifelong learning is one that you must carry forward throughout your lives.

I take this opportunity to wish every graduate—whether you are entering the workforce or pursuing further studies—continued success and fulfilment in your chosen paths. May you remain mindful, resilient, and strong in both body and mind as you navigate your professional journeys. Furthermore, may you achieve success in your careers, regardless of the sector you serve, and contribute positively to your families, society, and the nation.”
