AIT academic programs and classes to resume from December 6
November 25, 2011,
After the successful relaunch of administrative operations, the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) is geared towards return to academic operations from 6 December 2011. Academic activities are now moving towards a return to normalcy, following the enormous flood disaster that inundated the AIT campus almost one month ago.
"Based on our available resources, the focus of the current administration, in this dire situation of tragedy and emergency, has been to minimize the loss to students, who are the major identity of AIT," Prof. Said Irandoust, President, AIT said in a message to the AIT community. The decision to resume classes has been taken keeping in view the needs and demands of not just students from 42 countries from where our students come from, but also our donors, supporters and partner countries and Institutions, the President added.
The temporary location for academic programs is Hua-Hin, which is located South of Bangkok. All students who have coursework and are graduating this semester have been asked to return to Thailand during the last week of November, and a pick up service from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Hua-Hin is being organized between 28 November to 2 December 2011. Students pursuing their research, thesis and Ph.D. (all non-coursework) have been advised to contact their advisers.
