Thai scholar honoured

UVic President Dr. David Strong congratulates Sira Wissawapaisal on being named the third recipient of UVic's $10,000 Anand scholarship. She's in her second year of a PhD program, studying the use of educational technology in second-language teaching with Dr. Robert Anthony in the department of communications and social foundations in education. She earned her BA in English and Spanish from Chulalongkorn University in Thailand and her MA in organizational communications from the University of Akron in Ohio.

The Anand scholarship was established jointly by the former Prime Minister of Thailand and former Thai Ambassador to Canada, Khun Anand Panyarachun, who is UVic's Honorary Patron in Thailand, and Strong to enable Thai students to study at UVic and to support faculty exchanges and student study and work exchanges between Thai partner institutions and UVic.
