School of Engineering, University of Phayao, led by Associate Professor Dr. Nattapong Damrongwiriyanupap, Dean of the School of Engineering, together with the executive team, academic staff, and supporting personnel, participated in the “Meeting of the Mind” project held in celebration of the 16th anniversary of the establishment of the University of Phayao. The event was organized under the theme “Exquisite Thai Attire in Honor of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, Eternal in Royal Grace”, with the primary objectives of providing a platform for university executives to articulate institutional policies and strategic directions, while fostering engagement, collaboration, and a sense of shared purpose among administrators and personnel across the university.
The project was organized by the Central Division, Corporate Communication Unit, and took place on January 7, 2026, at Room UB 003, the 99th Anniversary Building of Phra Ubali Kunupamachan, University of Phayao. The opening ceremony was graciously presided over by Associate Professor Dr. Supakorn Pongbangpho, President of the University of Phayao, together with the university’s executive leadership. Their collective presence underscored the strong spirit of unity and cooperation among all organizational units in advancing the university’s mission, alongside a firm commitment to the preservation and promotion of Thai arts and cultural heritage.
On this occasion, the School of Engineering was awarded the Second Runner-Up Prize in the Thai Royal Attire Competition (School/Division Category). The School presented its participants in a red Thai Siwalai ensemble—the official color of the School of Engineering—distinguished by its elegance, adherence to traditional conventions, and profound symbolic significance. The attire effectively reflected the cultural value of Thai textiles as an invaluable national heritage.
This achievement represents a further source of pride for the School of Engineering, demonstrating its proactive engagement in supporting the university’s cultural policies while simultaneously enhancing the institutional image in a creative, meaningful, and sustainable manner.
