2025年澳大利亚国际酒店管理学院毕业典礼：致敬明日酒店业领袖

舞台已然就绪，现场氛围令人难忘。从发自肺腑的演讲到动容的告别，2025届AIHM毕业典礼不仅是一场仪式，更是梦想成真与未来启程的庆典。

Relive the highlights, hear the voices of our valedictorians, and see how the Class of 2025 stepped into the world as tomorrow’s hospitality leaders.
The Chao Phraya Ballroom at Anantara Riverside Bangkok glowed in AIHM blue—from the patterned pillars washed in sapphire light to the fresh flowers brightening the podium and the vivid trim of each graduate’s hood against formal black robes. The applause built quickly as the Class of 2025 entered, moving in time with the familiar, stately rhythm of “Pomp and Circumstance,” the classic graduation march heard in ceremonies around the world. Together, they stepped forward into their next chapter as young professionals ready to shape the industry they love.

铭记此刻

该仪式于2025年10月18日举行，迎来了来自政府、教育界及产业界的各界贵宾，包括：AIHM董事会主席素帕猜·帕尼奇帕克迪博士；美诺国际集团首席执行官兼美诺酒店首席执行官迪利普·拉贾卡里尔；美诺国际首席人力资源官奥拉坎达·阿塔维帕奇；美诺酒店集团首席人力资源官克雷格·科克伦；高等教育、科学、研究与创新部部长秘书宾蓬·查瓦南特博士；高等教育、科学、研究与创新部副常任秘书普恩珀姆萨克·阿鲁尼；美诺酒店首席人力资源官克雷格·科克伦；高等教育、科学、研究与创新部部长秘书皮蓬·查瓦南博士；高等教育、科学、研究与创新部副常任秘书普恩珀姆萨克·阿鲁尼；美诺教育首席运营官克里斯·梅兰；以及美诺国际酒店管理学院学术院长沃伦·斯坦沃斯。

在开幕致辞中，一个核心理念反复被强调：待客之道之精髓在于人。个体的同理心、好奇心与关怀之心，正是待客之道的动力源泉。谈及行业未来时，素帕猜博士提醒听众：技术将持续演进，但必须始终服务于人类，而非取代人类。正如他所言，待客之道应永远将"仁心置于代码之上"。

2025届毕业生的心声

两位毕业班代表的感言，生动地展现了本届毕业班的精神风貌。

桑迪·赛·西安·戴维斯——工商管理学士第二届毕业班毕业典礼致辞代表

Sandi opened with warmth, emotion and humour, reflecting on the shared challenges of late nights, projects, and the quiet determination that got her class through. She recalled her father’s words:

“Only dead fish go with the flow.”

At the time, she laughed; later, she realised it was a lesson in resilience. Her speech moved easily between levity and deep insight as she described learning to “swim against the tide”, to step outside comfort zones, to risk failure, and to grow from it. She also spoke with gratitude about the opportunities AIHM opened for her—from her internship in Dubai to her acceptance into the Ascent Graduate Traineeship at Minor Headquarters. The audience responded with laughter, nods, and more than a few damp eyes.

Her closing message captured the character of her class:

“It takes courage to swim against the tide, to question what’s expected, and to choose your own direction even when it’s hard…As we stand at the edge of our next chapter, I see in each of us the strength to think differently, to act boldly.”

Maya Mariyam – BBA Cohort 3 Valedictorian

Maya Mariyam began softly, but with confidence, speaking for her classmates as much as for herself. Maya’s tone was reflective, a portrait of friendship and shared perseverance. She spoke about the strong sense of togetherness that defined her cohort from the beginning. Maya recounted long nights spent at nearby cafés working on assignments, and the simple strength that came from knowing they were all in it together.

“This place has been more than a campus,” she said. “It’s been a home, a place where we formed lifelong bonds.”

Maya’s words reminded everyone in the room—parents, faculty and guests alike—that the spirit of AIHM lies in both its’ world-class education and in the human connections that define it.
