Bro. Surakit expressed sincere gratitude for the trust placed in him by the St. Gabriel\u2019s Foundation of Thailand and the Ministry. He emphasized his dedication to principled leadership, transparency, and collaborative decision-making. He reaffirmed his commitment to guiding AU toward sustainable development, strengthened academic excellence, and continued relevance in an evolving global higher education landscape.<\/p>\n<h3>Council Deliberations That Shape AU\u2019s Future<\/h3>\n<p>Under the leadership of the new Chairman, University Council Meeting No. 2\/2025 advanced several transformative initiatives. The Council ratified new international Memorandums of Understanding with the University of Foggia in Italy, De Montfort University in the United Kingdom, Arizona State University in the United States, and North South University in Bangladesh. These strategic partnerships expanded AU\u2019s global academic network, fostering joint research, faculty collaboration, and enhanced opportunities for student mobility.<\/p>\n<p>The Council also approved the registration of the AU Credit Bank System with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation. This approval strengthened AU\u2019s support for Thailand\u2019s national Lifelong Learning agenda by offering learners more flexible pathways to accumulate credits toward future degree completion.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Council endorsed the launch of the <strong>Bachelor of Communication Arts in Creative Communication Management<\/strong>, the university\u2019s first fully online international bachelor\u2019s degree program. Designed to meet the needs of modern learners, the program reflects AU\u2019s commitment to innovation in digital education and expanding access to high-quality learning experiences.<\/p>\n<p>To further support academic progression, the Council approved amendments to AU\u2019s academic regulations introducing the \u201cGrade R\u201d (Repeat) system, which replaces the <strong>\u201cGrade F\u201d<\/strong> designation for re-registered courses. This student-centered reform reinforced the university\u2019s focus on academic success, learning mastery, and student retention.<\/p>\n<h3>A Future Guided by Purpose and Unity<\/h3>\n<p>The meeting concluded with a shared vision among the new Chairman, University Council members, and the administration to strengthen AU\u2019s mission as a leading international Catholic institution. Grounded in the spirit of service, collaboration, and compassion, the university stands ready to move forward with confidence as it embraces emerging opportunities and prepares to meet future challenges.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1170103346\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-196331299\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div
