Red carpets spangled with yellow rose petals greeted Her Royal Highness the Princess Bajrakitiyabha Mahidol of Thailand at every turn on the occasion of the first visit of royalty to campus in more than forty years. On behalf of her father, the Crown Prince of Thailand, Her Royal Highness the Princess Bajrakitiyabha Mahidol graciously presided over three days of special events related to her country’s Diamond Jubilee, the sixtieth anniversary celebration of King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s accession to the throne. “This campus is one of the most beautiful that I have seen,” said the princess, who holds two law degrees from Cornell University. The UO Channel is pleased to present the launch of a new series of teacher training workshops, created by leading UO math and science professors and beamed via satellite from the UO campus to schools across Thailand and neighboring countries, featuring a message in Thai from the Princess delivered from Media Services’ television studio in the Knight Library.
