MSU Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs)




Students, Colleagues, and Partners,

Mahasarakham University has a long and proud tradition of commitment to social responsibility and progress. This commitment is reflected in our embrace of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015.

The SDGs are a comprehensive framework for addressing the world's most pressing challenges, including poverty, hunger, inequality, climate change, and environmental degradation. They represent a global call to action for all countries, including Thailand, to work together to create a more just, sustainable, and prosperous future for all.

At Mahasarakham University, we are integrating the SDGs into all aspects of our university life. This includes:

  •    Education:    We are integrating sustainability principles into our existing curriculum, developing new courses and programs that address the SDGs, fostering critical thinking about global challenges, and preparing future generations to be responsible stewards of the planet.
  •    Research:    We are supporting research that contributes to the achievement of the SDGs, such as research on renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, poverty, food security, and climate change adaptation. Moreover, we are providing grants and support to faculty and students who are conducting research on critical sustainability issues.
  •    Operations:   We are working to reduce our university's environmental footprint, promoting resource conservation, and promoting sustainable practices throughout our campus.
  •    Community Engagement:    We are partnering with local and global communities, businesses, and government agencies to advance sustainable development initiatives in the region.

The Road Ahead

We are committed to continuously improving our SDG efforts.

  • We will strive to deepen our integration of SDGs into all aspects of university life.
  • Expand our partnerships and collaborations to achieve greater impact.
  • Become a leading voice for sustainability in the region and beyond.

We believe that universities have a unique responsibility to play a leadership role in advancing the SDGs. Through our education, research, and community engagement activities, we can help to create a better future for all.

I encourage all members of the Mahasarakham University community to learn more about the SDGs and to get involved in our efforts to achieve them. Together, we can make a difference.

Sincerely,

[Associate Professor Prayook Srivilai, Ph.D.]
President of Mahasarakham University
