KHON KAEN – The Division of Student Development and Alumni Relations at Khon Kaen University (KKU) conducted an intensive workshop for student leaders from the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies on April 23. The event, focused on planning student development activities for the 2024 academic year, encouraged participants to leverage the unique potential of the university’s Nong Khai campus location.
The workshop was held at the invitation of the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies. Division Director Mrs. Jetsadaporn Srirattanaprapan, along with facilitators Ms. Warinthorn Pakphum and Mr. Preedee Sritrakul, were welcomed by faculty administrators including Associate Dean Mr. Jakkawan Kleepbua and Assistant Dean Dr. Utsanee Tansungnoen.
The session provided a detailed overview of the university’s “KKU EGGS” student identity framework, which emphasizes Entrepreneurial, Global-minded, Growth-oriented, and Sustainable-focused attributes. A key component was a hands-on workshop where students learned to use an assessment tool for EGGS traits and soft skills, helping them understand the core elements of effective project creation.
Facilitators specifically urged the student leaders to draw upon the distinct advantages of Nong Khai province. They were encouraged to design unique and impactful projects by collaborating with local communities and utilizing the campus’s geographical proximity to neighboring countries.
Mrs. Jetsadaporn Srirattanaprapan explained that the training covered the entire project lifecycle, from conceptualizing beneficial and collaborative initiatives to systematic implementation and post-activity evaluation. This process enables students to review and improve their projects for future years.
The workshop aimed to provide the student leaders with not just policy knowledge but also practical tools and concrete ideas. The goal is for them to creatively and sustainably plan their activities for the upcoming academic year in a way that aligns with the KKU EGGS identity while reflecting the specific context of the Nong Khai campus.
