Dean’s List Award

The International Buddhist College (IBC) organized a simple ceremony for the Dean’s List Award for the Second Semester of the Academic Year 2024/2025 on 17 July 2025. The aim of IBC is to promote the quality of its students in both academic and conduct, thereby fostering personality development. IBC firmly believes that conduct is purified by knowledge (wisdom) and knowledge is purified by conduct (sīlaparidhotāpaññā, paññāparidhotaṁ sīlaṁ), and that these two must be developed together to complete a student’s education.

IBC Rector, Assoc. Professor Dr. Mattia Salvini in his sharing, mentioned:
“It is a common procedure in Thailand to have awards based on students’ academic results and on their overall behavior, and we conform to this convention. Please take the awards as a sign of encouragement; grades and awards are not very meaningful, nor should you think that they are a precise and truthful representation of your knowledge and skills. Rather than focusing on these, focus on improving.”

The students who achieved the Dean’s List Award for the Second Semester of the Academic Year 2024/2025 are as follows:
1. Ms. Zar Zar Tun (B.A. in Buddhist Textual Studies)
2. Ms. Ei Naing (B.A. in Buddhist Studies)
3. Ms. Yang Xueqin (B.A. in Buddhist Studies)

Congratulations to all awardees! We hope this achievement serves as motivation for other students to excel in both academic and ethical performance.
Thank you to all members who participated in this simple yet meaningful event.
