The event supports international collaboration and helps students settle into university life.
Khon Kaen University (KKU), through the International Affairs Division, organised an orientation ceremony for new international students admitted for the first semester of the 2026 academic year. The event was held at Sirikunakorn Room 3, on the second floor of the Sirikunakorn Building, Khon Kaen University.
The ceremony was attended by Assoc. Prof. Nawarat Wara-aswapati, D.D.S., D.M.Sc., Vice President for International Affairs, alongside Asst. Prof. Kwankate Kanistanon, Ph.D., Acting Director of the International Affairs Division, who both welcomed the incoming students on 29 June 2026. The orientation was designed to provide international students with a platform to exchange knowledge, network with peers from various nationalities, and receive essential information regarding university support services. Key participating departments included the International Affairs Division, the Graduate School, the Office of Academic Administration and Development, the Office of Digital Technology, the Library, and the Sports Division.
The latter part of the programme featured the “International Student Meet and Share” session, where representatives from the International Student Club shared firsthand experiences of student life at the university. Khon Kaen University currently hosts over 800 international students. The session closed on a lively note, reflecting the institution’s focus on internationalisation.
In the afternoon, the International Affairs Division hosted the “KKU Campus Tour” to familiarise the students with the university’s green environment, key landmarks, and service facilities. Students said the tour was useful for navigating the campus and made for a memorable first impression.
Students also praised the university’s modern amenities, such as the KKU Smart Transit Service, as well as the eco-friendly and welcoming campus environment. They also noted the academic and personal support provided by fellow students, faculty members, and university staff, which helps international students adjust and have a fulfilling academic journey at Khon Kaen University.
