Gender Awareness in Student Activities

The Student Union of Siam University gas initiated a major change in organizing Siam Ambassador Contest. The issue of “gender equality” was discussed among our students resulting in changes of rules in this year contest such as anyone are welcome to participate regardless of their sexes. The title of each contestant does not need to specify “Mr.” or “Miss” to differentiate gender. Male students are welcome to perform in the contest. In addition, the winners are asked to be the ambassadors of “gender equality”.
