A. Announcement

 

1)  Interim Intermediate Oversight of the Director of Human Resources Services

 

Email from AIT President on 10 September 2025

 

Dear AIT Community,

I am pleased to announce that with immediate effect, and in close coordination with the Vice President for Administration and Development, Mrs Izel Ann Mojado-Dante, Director for Academic Administration, has been assigned to provide interim intermediate oversight of the Director of Human Resources Services. In this capacity, Mrs Dante will provide strategic guidance, supervise, and work closely with the OHRS Director to ensure the continued delivery of efficient and responsive HR support to our faculty and staff.

This interim arrangement reflects our commitment to both strengthening HR services and supporting leadership development within the Institute. With Mrs Dante’s experience and mentorship, the HR function will continue to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, transparency, and care for our community. 
 
We thank you for your cooperation and support during this transition period.

 

2) A Better Working Environment
Email from AIT President on 13 September 2025
 
Dear members of the AIT family,
 
I am committed to creating an environment at AIT that fosters a positive and congenial team attitude.  Therefore this important and regular reminder message is sent out to the AIT community at the beginning of every semester.
 
There may be instances where a person feels that an unsatisfactory situation has developed at AIT which requires addressing, and thus wishes to lodge a complaint or express a grievance.  For these cases, AIT already has policies and procedures for addressing grievances, such as sexual harassment, bullying, invasion of privacy and discrimination, among others (PA 2-1-2) and on disciplinary action (PA 1-3-3, X; PA 1-1-1, IX).  Procedures for handling the grievances of students are set out in the Student Handbook.  Your first step should always be to go through your reporting channel, deviating from that only if the problem is within the channel itself or if you do not receive satisfaction after doing this. 
 
However, if after following these established procedures, it is felt that the complaint or grievance cannot be resolved through these channels and it is of a serious nature, it should be drawn to the attention of the AIT Administration.  Should the matter reach this point, here is the system for complaint or grievance:
 
Step 1 — Make a report and send it, using your AIT email address, to report@ait.ac.th.  Any complaint or grievance reported in this way will be addressed seriously, and in utmost confidence.  However, no anonymous complaints will be accepted.
 
Step 2 — The Director of the Office of Academic Administration (OAA) has been entrusted by the AIT President to make an initial assessment of all complaints and grievances (including, but not limited to, cases of unethical behavior and misconduct). 
 
Step 3 — Based on the OAA Director’s assessment, a confidential report will be submitted to the AIT President, who will then decide the actions that the Institute needs to take, including the formation of a Grievance Committee.  The Grievance Committee will be chaired by the OAA Director, and shall invite external experts and/or ad hoc members.
 
In addressing complaints and grievances, all AIT personnel—faculty, staff, and students—are expected to respond with empathy, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity.  Even if a case may appear minor to the recipient of the report, it may be of serious personal or reputational consequence to the individual raising it.  Dismissing or making light of one’s experience can cause further harm and undermine trust in our reporting systems. 
 
3) AIT welcomes Dr. Nurul Husna Hassan, Assistant Professor, School of Engineering and Technology
Email from AIT President on 17 September 2025
 
Dear Members of the AIT Community,
 
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Nurul Husna Hassan as the new faculty member of the School of Engineering and Technology.

4) AIT welcomes Dr. Lonn Pichdara, Assistant Professor, School of Environment, Resources, and Development
Email from AIT President on 17 September 2025
 
Dear Members of the AIT Community,
 
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Lonn Pichdara as a new faculty member to the School of Environment, Resources, and Development (SERD).
 
Dr. Pichdara has been appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Natural Resources Management Program, within the Department of Food, Agriculture, and Natural Resources (FANR).

5) New Campus Waste segregation Policy – Your full cooperation is a mandatory for AIT’s Sustainable Future
 
Email from Director OSC on 19 September 2025
 
Dear AIT Community,
The Office of Sustainable Campus (OSC) is pleased to launch AIT’s new Waste Management Policy for waste segregation and disposal, a crucial step toward building a sustainable and responsible campus. Effective immediately, a three-bin system has been placed at 101 campus locations:
 
Green Bin – Food and bio-waste
 
Yellow Bin – Plastic and paper recyclables
 
Blue Bin – General waste
 
Clear disposal directions are posted on most of the bins. We urge everyone to segregate waste at home, in residential areas, and in offices before disposal. The current priority is plastics and paper, as Phase 1 of our waste management goal is to recycle the largest portion of plastics and paper waste collected in the yellow bins.
 
May be an image of text
 
 
From the date of this announcement, the next three weeks will serve as an observation period to assess your support in properly disposing of plastic and paper waste into the yellow bins with the help of OFAM Janitorial staff while they collect the garbage. Once we achieve satisfactory results, OSC will invite the contracted recycling company to evaluate and initiate the collection process.
 
Your full cooperation is a mandatory exercise to turn this vision into an implementable reality. The AIT community is the key stakeholder in this effort. We urge every AITIAN to take personal responsibility by adding extra bins at home for waste segregation; these bins can be purchased starting at 30 B or purchased from OSC upon request. Together, we can ensure that our collective actions contribute to the environment and set a benchmark for sustainable practices.
 
We have attached the approved long-term plan for implementing campus waste management for your reference. In the second phase of the implementation process, yellow bin waste segregation bins will be distributed at the main offices. More details will be announced and coordinated soon. We sincerely await AIT community involvement and feedback on how to implement the plan effectively and achieve tangible results. Please send an email to director-osc@ait.ac.th or call at 6008 for your valuable suggestions.
 
The waste management hierarchy prioritizes waste prevention, followed by reuse, recycling, recovery, and finally disposal. OSC sincerely encourages adapting the first two steps in our daily lives. 
 
May be a graphic of text that says "Prevent Reduce Reuse is Recycle C Recover Recover ជា Dispose"
 
 
Let us work hand in hand to dispose of the waste at AITs in a responsible manner. Thank you for your commitment and support.
