Welcome To Student Life Office!

I am Kong Douch, head of the Student Life Office (SLO) of Saint Paul Institute (SPI). I’m so glad to work here to assist all SPI’s students in different academic support activities. SLO is one of the most significant offices in SPI to receive extra support academic programs in different workshops and exchange opportunities with other international universities. The workshops and training are conducted by SLO in purpose to provide more knowledge to students such as, social inclusion, gender, environment, hygiene, religion, political, economic, education and personal development, etc. SLO is working to develop and strengthen the students’ abilities by providing all students with equality to learn and gains new knowledge.

Furthermore, I would like to express that SLO is a home for students since they can come and have fun and learn at the same time, especially to show their talents through different association groups. On the other hand, sports, music, consultant, and other services are available to reduce stress and released out of their lives while they are playing guitar or piano or consultation inside SLO during their free time after study.

We live together as a big family with sharing, advising, teaching, encouraging, and orientation in mutual in order to become great people in their own family and society!

COME to JOIN with SLO of SPI.

Thank you very much!
