Meet with our Alumni, Tuon Sopheachanboramey (Boramey)!
Date: 2022-06-15T11:05:00

Tuon Sopheachanboramey is a remarkable student and also one of the outstanding graduates of the class of 2020. Upon graduation, Boramey received a full scholarship to pursue her Master’s program majoring in Political Science at Northern Illinois University. She is currently working on the research proposals for her master’s thesis. Her research interest focuses on the “Cambodian Government’s Response to COVID-19 Pandemic”. She will be returning to Cambodia this summer to work on her paper.

“After I graduated from AUPP, I knew that I would pursue higher education. I am grateful to be accepted and offered a full scholarship and assistantship at Northern Illinois University. The lesson I learnt from AUPP has shaped my analytical skill, leadership skill, and research skill which are very necessary when applying for a scholarship abroad. In addition, AUPP’s curriculums and professors have assisted me in preparing for graduate studies. The American education system at AUPP has undoubtedly played one of the most prominent and important roles in this journey.”

Boramey has said that after graduating from NIU, she will get a job related to International Relations in the United States. However, her real goal is to come back to Cambodia and positively contribute to the development of the society.

Boramey stated that “Education plays a crucial role today, whether we want to climb up the corporate ladder or carve our niche in the academic as well as the business world. Higher education is particularly useful and helpful for training us to obtain higher-level of critical thinking and the like. This then leads me to think of one of the pieces of advice that I would give to students who intend to pursue graduate studies: that you will have some ups and downs. Still, as long as you keep your goal in mind and stay focused, you will continue to move forward.”
Facing Challenges is Normal at AUPP! But You are always Supported!
Date: 2022-05-05T11:02:00

Amani Nelson, a sophomore student majoring in Information Technology Management (ITM), has shared her insights on why ITM is her choice at AUPP. Read about her interview below:

1. Why did you choose to major in ITM?

I chose to major in ITM because I wanted to keep learning more about computer systems and broaden my horizons by learning about management. Another reason I picked ITM is that it’s a dual-degree program. In the future, I want to be able to work abroad because I love traveling, and I think ITM is valuable since it has taught me about global practices in technology.

2. Tell us more about your AUPP academic experience.

Since freshman year, I’ve found that in every class, I always learn something new that I can use in another class later. For example, I learned about for-loops in Python, and it is a concept I apply to Java and C++. Also, it has been vital for me to know the people in my classes since this makes doing group projects and homework more manageable. Overall, the most challenging part has been learning how to schedule my time so that I have enough rest and still have fun on the weekends.

3. What is your recommendation/advice for recent high school graduates who want to choose ITM?

Be open to experiencing many challenges and know that it’s ok to not know the answers immediately; the most important part is that you try your best to solve problems first before asking for help.

4. How does AUPP help you to succeed?

I have great classmates in ITM who help me out when I have trouble with difficult assignments, and my professors are mostly understanding when it comes to assignment deadline extensions if I need them.

5. Why should new students choose AUPP?

AUPP has a friendly community, and it is not hard to make friends. In addition to this, the professors in ITM are incredibly helpful with finding internships based on students’ strengths and are willing to go the extra mile to see you succeed.

Meet Dr. Theresa de Langis, our Professor of Global Affairs and Humanities & the Director for the Center for Southeast Asian Studies!
Date: 2022-04-18T10:58:00

Dr. Theresa de Langis spent her 2020 in the U.S. during the pandemic and was delighted to return to AUPP in 2021 in time for the Fall semester. She is now a professor of Global Affairs and Literature and the Director for the Center for Southeast Asian Studies.

Ask any professor what they like most about the job and they will have the same answer: the students. Every day, in the classroom and outside of it, Theresa is inspired and revitalized by AUPP students—their drive to learn, their creative thinking, and their kindness and care for each other. These days, with the pandemic ongoing and the world so uncertain, that’s a true gift.

Dr. Theresa accomplished her doctorate at the University of Illinois at Chicago (USA) in 2001 in Literary Theory and Gender Studies, but she completely changed her field after her doctorate! She went into government as the head of an agency for the Commission for the Status of Women for the State of New Hampshire (USA) and worked on legislative and policy reform. In 2008, she joined the UN mission in Afghanistan as Deputy Director of Programmes for UNIFEM (now UN Women) through 2010. She also did a few more assignments with the UN, and it so happened that most were in Asia, so in 2012, she relocated full-time to Cambodia.

By that time, Dr. Theresa was deeply involved in following the proceedings of the Khmer Rouge Tribunal (ECCC) and undertaking independent research on sexual violence as part of the mass atrocities and genocide during Democratic Kampuchea. She has been so honored to have her Khmer files and transcripts held at Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum for public use. It was a highlight of her life to have some of the oral histories about forced marriages serve as a basis for a traditional Khmer opera produced by Sophiline Cheam Shapiro, entitled Pka Sla Krom Angkar, which was selected as an official reparation for victims by the ECCC. These days, she is writing a book on the same topic—a difficult task as she tries to find a way to truly honor the voices of the courageous survivors who spoke to her.

She started teaching part-time at AUPP just after it opened in 2013, and joined full-time in 2016, spearheading the launch of CSEAS in 2017. Maybe she is most known for teaching the Genocide Studies course, but she loves teaching literature, as it opens entirely new ways of looking at our world, its politics, its struggles, and its beauty. AUPP lets her bring together her loose ends, you might say—her experience in international diplomacy and policy analysis, and her Ph.D. in literature and gender studies. You see, life’s path may lead in all kinds of directions, but it always seems to reach home!
Congratulations to Rothsethamony Seng and Ngov Menghieng on their Achievement!

With a passion to pursue a Master’s degree oversea, Mony has been a hard-working student who always strives to improve both her leadership and professional skill.

In addition, her advice for the younger generation is to always follow one’s heart and always be patient as great things take time.

As a student with a strong interest in media production and social media management, Mr. Ngov Menghieng has been awarded a scholarship in Communication. Menghieng is one of the outstanding students, who perseveres in front of any adversity he might face. Attending AUPP has built Menghieng’s solid knowledge in pursuing his Master’s degree as well as preparing himself when moving into the workforce. His advice to the next generation is to not give up on one’s dream. He added that failure does not define one’s real ability or talent.

AUPP is immensely proud of our students’ effort and their achievements. AUPP believes that Mony and Hieng will achieve great things and wishes them every success in their future endeavors.

Heng Lida, a senior student majoring in Tourism and Hospitality Management, has shared her insights on why she chose to study Tourism and Hospitality Management (THM) at AUPP after she graduated from high school. Read about her interview below:

1. Why did you choose THM major at the American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP)?

I choose AUPP because AUPP allows me to earn two degrees within four years without having to go abroad. On top of that, the dual degree program for Tourism and Hospitality Management will not only cover THM courses alone, but students also get to develop core insights in business administration.

2. Tell us more about your AUPP academic experience?

AUPP provides a great academic experience for me since the school follows a U.S. curriculum standard. As I also study with a partnered university in the U.S., I can say that learning experience is very different, and professors are fully experienced. They always encourage students to study and build the development of students’ performance to success.

3. What is your recommendation/advice for recent high school graduates who want to choose THM?

To recent high school graduates who wish to pursue a degree in Tourism and Hospitality management, I would advise you to come and join us here at AUPP.

These really play a vital role in developing your perspectives on the tourism industry in the future.

4. How did AUPP help you to succeed?

AUPP helps me succeed by allowing me to learn many new things and gain great experiences, both in class and socially. I’m able to improve many skills that are essential for both my career life and everyday living.

Studying at AUPP Could Be a Life-Changing Choice!
Date: 2022-01-13T16:54:00

Seng Rothsethamony, a senior student majoring in Global Affairs, has shared her insights on why Global Affairs is her choice at AUPP.
Read about her interview below:

1. Why do you choose a Global major at AUPP?

After finishing high school, I was just lost as some of our high school graduates did not know where to pursue their bachelor’s degrees. I was granted a few scholarships and admission to different universities with different majors locally and internationally. However, I decided to study Global Affairs major at the American University in Phnom Penh because of my passion for International Relations and International Affairs, my interest in developing my interpersonal skills, and my commitment to illustrating Cambodia to the international stage. For instance, I could participate in several activities such as Global Goals Summit, Global Peace Summit, Model United Nations Meeting, Model ASEAN Meeting, and several other programs that I could apply to participate overseas and in Cambodia.

2. Tell us more about your AUPP academic experience?

At AUPP, I would say that I had an incredible experience with the support from all of my professors, academic advisors, and directors at AUPP. Amazingly, I could learn academically while doing other activities such as volunteering, internship, and start-up.

3. What is your recommendation/advice for the recent high school graduates who want to choose Global Affairs?

I would highly recommend the recent high school graduates who want to choose Global Affairs major to talk to some of the senior students at AUPP, ask for information from the registration team, and learn to love the major you choose. Nothing is easy so that all major might have a hard time. However, please do not give up and remember why you chose this one. Also, once you decide, I would say AUPP could be a life-changing choice for pursuing this major in Cambodia because you will be surprised by how fast you could develop yourself here.

4. How does AUPP help you to succeed?

With the strong support from my beloved professors, academic advisors, student affairs director, seniors, and friends at AUPP, I could do more than just study in class. I would say that my professors are very supportive of applying for my exchange programs. At the same time, the student affairs director and my seniors support me to do voluntary work and internships.

5. Why should new students choose AUPP?

If you are a high school student who is now lost just like I did, please do not worry. It would help if you came to AUPP, took a tour, and asked our friendly registration team any questions you have in mind. After that, you can decide whether or not you want to study here. I am sure that most of the answers will be YES because of the supportive and professional professors, friendly and helpful registration team, and peaceful environment where you can study locally but live globally.
AUPP is More than Just Studying, It is about Creating a Lifestyle
Date: 2022-01-12T16:57:00

Sreynea Chea, a senior student majoring in Business Administration, has shared her insights on why Business Administration is her choice at AUPP.

“Hi everyone! My name is Sreynea Chea, and I am now a senior student at the American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP). I am now pursuing a degree in Business Administration. When I first arrived at AUPP, I was in awe of the learning environment and the state-of-the-art campus. AUPP is the only university that provides dual degree programs. In addition, even if I cannot open my own business, the degrees I will obtain will bring more opportunities, as well as a better career.

Choosing AUPP is really the right decision for me. I have received support from all the faculty and staff at AUPP. For example, when I want to form a new student club, the coordinator is in support and guides me through the entire process. Moreover, you will have your own academic advisers who provide guidance on both your education and your mental stability. Furthermore, there is always someone that is willing to listen to your proposal and ideas. Lastly, AUPP provides all the support that you need for your future success.

For those high school graduates out there, you should join AUPP because AUPP cares about their own students; they listen to their students’ voices. Studying at AUPP is more than just studying, it is about creating a lifestyle and making new friends.”
