ASIAN Institute of Technology (AIT) has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Laureate International Universities to explore a possible partnership. It was signed on 30 September 2011, and it is an exploratory MoU with no commitments, but merely an expression of interest to explore a partnership. Further, AIT plans to return to its mother campus sometime during the next semester, though the exact date is not finalized.

Communicating with alumni in person on current and prospective developments of AIT was the focus of an informal gathering organized by AIT in downtown Bangkok on 14 December 2011.

A senior alumnus of the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Prof. Waheed Uddin, visited the AIT temporary locations at Bangkok as well as Hua Hin and Cha-am last week, and commended the efforts made by the Institute to recommence operations.

In the aftermath of an unprecedented disaster such as the flood that impacted AIT, experts say it’s best to plan recovery work thoroughly and without undue haste, to avoid unintended health and operational consequences.

After facing the brunt of its most severe inundation in its history, students of the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) are back to taking tests and submitting assignments. Mid semester examinations for the undergraduate students, and some term-end examinations for graduate students began on 12 December 2011 at AIT’s temporary location at Hua Hin and Cha-am.

Volunteers arrived at AIT this past weekend from all quarters with sleeves rolled-up, energy to burn and smiles to share as part of a cooperative effort to help rid AIT’s buildings of flood-damaged materials and accumulated debris.

Salvage missions at the mother campus of the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) for ground floor offices and residences have been accomplished, with the vast majority of students, faculty and staff managing to retrieve their belongings.

Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Mr. Yongyuth Wichaidit last week expressed his full support for flood-stricken Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), as it has benefited higher education and research in Thailand.
