Dear Faculties and Administrators:

 
I'm writing to you in my capacity as Chair of the Organizing Committee of the 1st University Social Responsibility International Conference 2009: Role of University towards the Era of Social Responsibilities hosted by USR @ Sripatum University. The conference will be held at Bualuang Grand Room, SripatumUniversity, Bangkok, Thailand from January 12-13, 2009.
 

University Social Responsibility (USR) is a concept whereby a university takes all necessary steps to improve the quality of life for all its employees and their families, its students, its faculty, and the local community as well as society at large.

 
The purpose of the 1st University Social Responsibility International Conference 2009 is to establish a dialogue between attending universities to address their responsibility of society to provide the best quality of life to all people. 

 

Topics for conference discourse include:

1. Poverty Reduction
2. University’s role in Social Responsibility
3. Sustainable Development
4. Environmental Sustainability
5. IT and Social Responsibility
6. Cultures and Social Responsibility

 

To add value to actions across universities, USR@ Sripatum University cordially invite all university representatives to participate in setting up the University Social Responsibility Alliance (USR Alliance) that we believe will provide a strong support network between all universities. 

 

We believe that University Social Responsibility must be mobilized immediately by setting up the following actions:

• Share effective practices in strengthening the engagement of communities
• Assist municipalities and organizations in the restoration of a healthy society and environment
• Development of new generations of community- engaged citizens, scholars and researchers
• Collective measurement of the impact of our work
• Advocacy for enhanced policy and resource support
