Vice-Chancellor Professor Gerard Sutton presented Professor Chorrojprasert with her award at the annual Thai Alumni and Friends function at the Novotel Bangkok in October.

Professor Sutton also acknowledged the ongoing contribution of Khun Dusada Nunta and her team from the UOW’s Thailand office to the Alumni Network - Thailand Chapter. For more than a decade under the leadership of successive presidents, Khun Dusada and her team have provided the operational support required to help make the ANTC an outstandingly successful Chapter.
