Rector Gasinee of Thammasat

appointed as EFMD Board of Trustees,

the one and only representative from

Thailand and ASEAN

In July 2021, Associate Professor Gasinee
Witoonchart, the Rector of Thammasat University,
was appointed as the first Thai board member to
the Board of Trustees of the European Foundation
for Management Education (EFMD). The organization,
recognized globally as a major accreditation body
for “EQUIS” for business schools, is influential in
setting the direction of studies in international
business administration. After receiving the
prestigious appointment, the Rector co-hosted a
virtual seminar with EFMD and Thai PBS entitled
“Thammasat and EFMD Seminars on Partnerships
for SGDs” in November 2021 to promote the EFMD
presence in the ASEAN region and to showcase
the EFMD “Excellence in Practice (EiP) Awards”.
Prior to her appointment, the Thammasat
Business School had achieved the distinction of

being awarded the “Triple Crown” from three of
the world’s preeminent accreditation bodies for
educational standards, a feat that only 1% of
business schools attain. These three bodies are
the EFMD, the AACSB (Association to Advance
Collegiate Schools of Business) in the United States,
and the AMBA (Association of MBAs) in the United
Kingdom.
