Annual Report 2019 2 Faculty of Public Health, Thammasat University Annual Report 2019 Faculty of Public Health, Thammasat University 3 Message from the Rector of Thammasat University Upon celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the Establishment of Faculty of Public Health, I have witnessed remarkable achievement of the faculty toward becoming a leading academic institute in public health studies and taking a key role in continuously producing well-equipped graduates with knowledge and virtue to serve the society in all aspects. Starting from 2015, the Faulty of Public Health began to adopt Education Criteria for Performance Excellence (EdPEx) as framework to further improve its organizational management quality. Later in 2019, the Faculty of Public Health took part in TU-EdPEx200 organized by Thammasat University with aim to encourage and support five internal organizations joining the program by enabling them to pass EdPEx200 evaluation criteria. In addition, the Faculty of Public Health participated in the 7th EdPEx organized by Office of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation. In 2019, a total of 20 organizations were selected through preliminary screening. Among this was the Faculty of Public Health which also made it to the SAR round, marking the first time in history that an organization under Thammasat University had joined the program and had been selected during preliminary screening. Throughout the past year, Thailand has faced numerous problems namely COVID-19 pandemic, causing adverse economic, social and political impacts, as well as immense changes in our day-to-day lifestyle. Organizations nationwide have implemented strict protocols to control the spreading of the disease as much as possible. The Faculty of Public Health has constantly played a vital role in resolving this issue such as by raising public awareness on COVID-19 prevention and promoting public health, both on and outside of campus, including continuously organizing campaigns with Thammasat University for three consecutive years to promote public safety on the use of helmet while riding a motorcycle. In addition to its outstanding performance in terms of academic, organizational management quality, and public services, the Faculty of Public Health is also recognized for its continuous development of learning process, conducting well-acclaimed researches, providing academic services for communities and society, as well as promoting art and culture. Furthermore, numerous researches have been widely published in both national and international academic journals not to mention education network expansion through MOU signing with various agencies, organizations and leading academic institutions. This has not only made the Faculty of Public Health to become widely known to the public but also allowing Thammasat University to earn its recognition as an academic institution for the people. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to the dean and executive team for their outstanding management performance, including instructors, academic support team, students and alumni of the Faculty of Public Health for their continuous support in driving the success of our missions as well as achieving the policies and goals of our university.
