Asst. Prof. Dr. Suriyanont Polsim, Assistant Dean for Student Development and Alumni Relations  He said, “The main concept of innovation in student excellence development with this “Pa” model has been changed from the concept of student development from a student-centric approach to a student-driven approach where development activities in various aspects will be driven by students in full. In addition, this “Pa” model wheel model also consists of 2 main wheels driven by the college’s students, namely: "COLA Paso" and "COLA takes you to the battlefield" Each wheel has a different format and focus on student development. COLA Paso aims to develop students to become: “Social influencer” By exchanging and communicating contemporary issues of various social dimensions with society under the concept “COLA Paso – Discussing hot issues, reflecting society” The main activities are driven by students of the college, which are held every Friday during the semester.”

partCOLA Wheels Go WildIt is an activity held during the school break, aiming to produce students to become “Social Governor” By taking students to learn and work to solve problems for communities in real areas during the semester break, so that students can mingle and learn about the context of real work in the area with government agencies, local administrative organizations, community organizations, or the private sector in the target areas of each semester. Students will have the opportunity to apply the theories they have learned to try to connect them to solving problems in real communities. And when they graduate, they will be able to work with communities and society more effectively.
