The International Center hosted the "International Lunar New Year 2025" at the Surat Osathanugrah Library (C6 Building), creating a vibrant space for students to explore and immerse themselves in Lunar New Year traditions from various countries. This year, the event drew enthusiastic participation from Bangkok University students eager to experience the richness of diverse cultures.
