The ceremony celebrates graduates receiving Bachelor’s and Associate degrees through Parami University’s partnership with Bard College.
On June 9, 2026, Parami University is holding its Commencement Ceremony at the Chiangmai Grandview Hotel in Chiang Mai, Thailand, honoring the graduation of its first ever cohort of Bachelor of Arts students, as well as Associate degree graduates from the Classes of 2026 and 2028. Bringing together graduates, faculty, trustees, families, and international partners, the ceremony underscores Parami University’s continued commitment to expanding access to higher education and fostering academic excellence across diverse student communities.

Welcome remarks will be delivered by Parami University President Kyaw Moe Tun, followed by remarks from Zali Win, chairman of the board of trustees, Jonathan Becker, executive vice president of Bard College, and Phil Enns, dean of academic affairs at Parami University. An Honorary Degree will be conferred on Kevin Quigley, who will also deliver the 2026 Parami Commencement Address, in recognition of his contributions to Parami University, international education, civic leadership, and global engagement. 

The ceremony celebrates graduates receiving Bachelor’s and Associate degrees through Parami University’s partnership with Bard College. Both in-person and virtual graduates will be recognized for their academic achievements, perseverance, and commitment throughout their studies. “This is a significant milestone for Parami University as we celebrate the achievements of our first Bachelor’s degree graduates, along with the largest group of Associate degree graduates in our institutional history,” said Moe Tun. “I am extremely proud of our graduates and look forward to seeing the impact they will make in their communities, professions, and beyond. Congratulations to the Classes of 2026 and 2028 on this remarkable achievement.”
