The participation of the Faculty in welcoming university leaders from across the country reflects its strong commitment to supporting Maejo University’s mission while demonstrating its readiness to contribute to national higher education development. It also highlights the University's role as a leading institution in driving the transition toward the future of agriculture through the integration of education, research, innovation, and area-based development.
