The ceremony was attended by Vice Rector III and IV, Dean of Teacher Training and Education Faculty; Dean of Arts, Culture, and Communication Faculty, head of BIMAWA, head of KUI, head of English Literature Study Program, head of English Education Study Program, and staff of KUI. In addition, as in previous years, there were also alumni of UAD who had returned from teaching in Thailand last year. They shared stories and experiences when they were in Thailand, such as teaching experience, extracurricular and social life experiences in Thailand.

By having this sharing session, the UAD alumni who would teach in Thailand would get general overview of life in Thailand.

The head of KUI, Ida Puspita, M.A.Res. said that the program of alumni to teach that was started at the beginning of 2013 was one of the flagship programs of UAD international cooperation with partner schools in Thailand.

“This program is one of the UAD attempts to give provisions for alumni to the era of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). It is our hope that the alumni’s experience as ASEAN cross-country teachers can be 'ammunition' for them to compete in the AEC, " She explained.
