Associate Professor Charnchai Panthongviriyakul, M.D., President of Khon Kaen University,, extended his congratulations and best wishes to the graduates of the academic year 2025. He offered significant insights into lifelong learning, skill development, and mindful living in a rapidly changing work environment, as follows:

Greetings to all new graduates of Khon Kaen University,

On behalf of Khon Kaen University, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all graduates and welcome you back to Khon Kaen University as you receive your diploma this year. Your graduation from Khon Kaen University and the attainment of your degree are important evidence and a symbol indicating your discipline, diligence, and determination in your studies until you achieved success. Life from now on, after completing your education, will be about work, which will be different from your time as a student. In this changing world, I believe that graduates who have been exposed to the workforce for some time would have learned that society and technology are evolving rapidly. Therefore, it is crucial for graduates to continuously seek knowledge and develop their skills to ensure success in their work. This is something you all must continuously learn.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all graduates, whether you are entering the workforce or pursuing further studies, success in your careers. I wish you mindfulness, physical strength, and strong mental resilience in your work, and may you achieve great success in your professional endeavors, no matter which sector of society you choose to serve. May you bring success to yourselves, your families, the nation, and further uphold the reputation of Khon Kaen University. Thank you.
