responsible for the operation of the Human Resources Office (HRO).
Mr. Pisit obtained his degrees from Chulalongkorn University and Thammasat
University, specializing in Human Resources Management and Marketing,

Language Center
With the Language Center's direct service to the students in the Schools and with its clientele mainly internal, it is deemed fitting to make it independent from the AIT Extension, which is the outreach arm of the Institute. With immediate effect, the Language Center is now an Institute-wide unit under the Office of the Provost.
