23 September 2020 marked the official partnership ceremony between Seneca College, Canada, and Panyapiwat Institute of Management (PIM) through a memorandum of understanding ceremony (MOU). As the first virtual MOU signing ceremony, PIM hosted the program with Assoc.Prof.Dr. Sompop Manarungsan of PIM and Mr. David Agnew of Seneca as key signatories.
Seneca President Mr. David Agnew expressed that during this pandemic, we get to know who our friends are who will continue to work together and move forward together. He mentioned that the past 6 months has tested faculty ingenuity to find new ways to continue higher education efforts. “Hospitality is a huge priority for Seneca. In the words of former Vice President Joe Biden, we will build back,” Mr. David emphasized.
PIM President Assoc.Prof.Dr. Sompop Manarungsan shared his optimism with the cooperation saying that he looks forward to both institutions cooperating closely in various fields. He concluded with words of honor and gratefulness, thanking Seneca for selecting PIM to become an academic partner.
Also in the session were the key faculty members who will drive the partnership forward in the field of hospitality and tourism, Seneca’s Ms. Angela Zigras and PIM’s Mr. Anuchit Saeng-on. Acting as witnesses were PIM’s Mr. Phornvit Pacharintanakul and Seneca’s Ms. Monica Kronfli.
