Mr. Guangyu Li, a member of China’s National People’s Congress, vice president of China’s Private Education Association, and Chairman of Yuhua Education Corporation; Ms. Hua Li (Lisa), committee member of the All-China Youth Federation and CEO of Yuhua Education Corporation, and all the staff members at the Rama 9 Campus, the Hua Hin Campus, and the Asoke Learning Center attended the meeting.
A new appointment was announced by Chairman Li, as STIU President Dr. Andrew Scown had stepped down to attend personal matters in his home country. The Stamford International University Council appointed assistant president Dr. Apitep Saekow as acting president on a temporary basis while a permanent replacement for the position of University President is found.
At the meeting, Chairman Li expressed his gratitude to Dr. Andrew Scown for his contributions while in office, and he extended his sincere appreciation to all staff members who devote themselves to the university. Chairman Li highlighted Yuhua’s recognition and appreciation of STIU, Thailand and Thai culture. “If the higher education sector owned by Yuhua is a crown, STIU is the precious pearl set in the crown” said Chairman Li.
