Message from Assoc. Prof. Dr. Viroch Impithuksa

Initially KU KPS Hall of History was named as “Hall of Fame” and located at the
University Kasetsart Center in 2002. Then, as a KU President, I had an idea to collect the history of
the establishment of KU KPS, the events of each important period and outstanding achievements
by faculty members, researchers and students and to exhibit these for KU KPS personnel students
and general public to study and learn at the then “(KU KPS) Hall of Fame”.
From the beginning that day, KU KPS has KU KPS Hall of History today. I always even say,
“where there is no history, there is no future then”; nevertheless, today KU KPS has both
history and the future. It is considered a good fortune that what I have thought was supported
by KU, concerned staff and KU Savings Cooperative, Kasetsart University Limited to continue the
work from which it was initiated in 2002.
KU KPS is the 1 campus of KU with a long history over 6 decades. In 2015, therefore,
st
I pushed forward and initiated the creation of the KU KPS Hall of History to meet the prestige that
has been accumulated for a long time. With the cooperation of the KU community in all sectors,
the KU KPS Hall of History was beautifully completed as an up-to-date hall containing complete
historical information. Also with gracious mercy of the royal family towards KU KPS, the opening
ceremony of the KU KPS Hall of History was held on September 7, 2018. This hall of history has
always been open for service and welcoming of executives, dignitaries, KU’s distinguished guests
of the university, staff, students, and interested people.
On the special occasion that the Book of KU KPS Hall of History to be first published, it is
so publicly open that all of faculty, staff, students, people from government and private sectors
and those interested in general will be informed of the KU KPS’s history and honor and share the
institutional pride with us.
