Student & Faculty Exchange Programs
Student and faculty exchange programs have been established with
Chulalongkorn University and with
Thammasat University, both top ranked
universities located in Bangkok, Thailand. Chulalongkorn University,
established in 1917, is Thailand’s oldest higher education institution, while
Thammasat University is the second oldest university in Thailand with six
campuses across the country. Establishing a strong student exchange
program with Chulalongkorn and Thammasat Universities will allow the Robert H.
Smith School of Business to grow its presence in Bangkok and expand the exchange
program to invite other universities in Thailand, including Chiang Mai
University, which has three campuses in Thailand.
Supply Chain Management Executive Education Program
The program includes plans for Smith to collaborate with the Thai government
and partner universities to explore initiatives that expand business education
in Southeast Asia, including a platform for Thai-based executive education
initiatives. Smith School Supply Chain Professor, Dr. Sandor Boyson, will attend
the first sponsored trip in January 2010 and present a four-day, non-credit
executive class to Thai professionals in the field of logistics and supply chain
management. Executives participating in the custom non-credit courses of the
executive education program will benefit from the Smith School’s world class
faculty who bring thought leadership to an organization as a means to develop
and implement effective strategies to maximize ROI.
