SU President

On behalf of the student union, I would like to

welcome all our new friends to AIT. It gives me
immense pleasure to announce that with a
beginning of a new year, the Student Union brings
to you another productive and fun filled semester.

has been working with passion in organizing
various sports, cultural, academic and several
interactive and entertaining events to serve the

express mutual respect for one another in a
multi-cultural and a multinational environment.

I hope this year turns out to be a fruitful one and

wish you all success and a happy stay at AIT.
