On April 10th, 2015, the University of Cambodia celebrated Khmer New Year for its staff and faculty members. In the morning, staff and faculty gathered in the lobby to present an offering and conduct a Darma prayer led by local Buddhist Monks.
In the evening, UC staged an elegant dinner party hosted by Lok Chumteav Khem Rany and His Excellency Dr. Kao Kim Hourn. Faculty and staff were happy to celebrate the upcoming New Year by drinking, eating and dancing together. It was a wonderful opportunity for staff and faculty to get to know one another better, especially those from different faculties and positions. The evening was very enjoyable and showed just how close the UC family really is.
The University of Cambodia generously offered prizes in the lucky draw to every employee. Prizes ranged from kitchen appliances, and cell phones, to a flat screen TV and a posh motorbike. Staff and faculty were so grateful for the celebration and truly enjoyed the time to celebrate a new and prosperous year for all.
