HP 3 Social Interaction

[3.1] Coverage of Student Clubs on Health Promotion

Description:

Siam University’s Health and Well-being Policy provides accessible fitness and recreation facilities and opportunities for social interaction and belonging. Student health-promotion activities run at several levels – the Office of Student Affairs, the Student Union and its Sports Division, faculty student councils, faculties and student clubs – and use the Siam Sports Complex.

Interfaculty sports (latest academic year). The Student Union holds the Hukwang Games every year as the University’s interfaculty sports. In academic year 2568 the Hukwang Games 2026 “Four Kingdoms Championship” ran from 13 to 28 March 2026, with 9 sports and contests for cheerleaders, cheering squads, parades and stand decoration. The official banner places all 15 faculties and colleges in GI 4, and the Global Academy, in four colour teams (Table HP 3.1.1). The games were the centrepiece of the Siam Sports Fair (20–29 March 2026), which drew more than 1,000 people a day. The event was also held in 2025 (21 March – 5 April 2025) with 14 of the 15 faculties.

Faculty clubs and student activities. The Faculty of Medicine holds a sports day every year for students and staff (28 October 2026: three colour teams, six sports) and runs Siam-Med Happy Place peer-helper sessions with the Medical Student Club. Year 3 nursing students run the Faculty of Nursing Elderly Club about every two months – 438 student attendances in 7 sessions from June 2025 to August 2026, with a mean satisfaction of 4.37 of 5 (Table HP 3.1.3) – and nursing students also lead the Smoke-free Club and the Buddhist Club. Pharmacy students run The Last Puff and the Student Council’s Pride Month, and Business Administration and Information Technology students formed the “My Space Is Smoke-Free” team (Table HP 3.1.2).

University-wide activities. Students also join International Yoga Day (2025 and 2026), Siam Walk & Run, the University Sports of Thailand, Nursing Sports Day and blood donation for the Thai Red Cross (71 donors, 19 November 2025). In June 2026 the University joined six other institutions in the Student Activities Network for Graduate Quality, which shares student-leader development and volunteering.
