Dear Myanmar Alumni

I am pleased to inform you that with the support of our President, School of Engineering and Technology has proposed a 5-year program, with a total of 50 Myanmar students to study infrastructure related fields as a way to assist Myanmar in its re-construction after the Nargis Cyclone disaster. These students are expected to return to lead the reconstruction of Myanmar. We were verbally informed about the positive outcome of the request, starting from this August 2008.
