The first of June each year is a day of pride for Dusit Thani College members as it represents the college’s establishment day. In this year, it has come to the 31st anniversary while the celebration was held on May 30, 2024.
The celebration started in the early morning with an auspicious offering to Lord Ganesha, Dusit Thani College’s spiritual anchor. The ceremony was led by Dr. Atthawet Prougestaporn, Rector – Dusit Thani College, and other executives from Dusit Thani College and Dusit International. Followingly, the members went to Lord Brahma and the household spirits at the shrines in the area of Dusit Princess Srinakarin Bangkok for the same ritual. The group then paid respect to the statue of Thanpuying Chanut Piyaoui, College Founder who got a broad vision to build a specialized educational institution for hospitality businesses. With her resolution, the college aims to provide high-quality personnel to hospitality industry and brings Thai hospitality to an international level. Afterwards, monks were invited to the college for the members to do alms rounds and food offerings.
DTC members then celebrated this success at Srinakarin Hall by joining the Buddhist blessing ceremony, watching Thai traditional blessing dance by Kaenthong Upathum School students, and congratulating staff who received royal insignias, DTC’s long year service awards, and outstanding research awards. The event concluded with an anniversary cake cutting which allowed all members to try delicate cakes topped with flower-shaped cream created by Ajarn Nongyao Youcharoen and a team of instructors, before having lunch together and the afternoon Islamic blessing ceremony.
Dusit Thani College continues to inherit the resolutions of its founder Thanpuying Chanut Piyaoui to serve as a dedicated specialized educational institution to hospitality education. Not only developing academic landscapes, but the college has also kept up the enhancement of other components inside with the focus on joy and success of all students as well as the college members throughout 31 years.
