Meet our alumni from class of 2018, Rithiya Serey!
Date: 2020-08-04T16:54:00

Rithiya graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Global Affairs and earned a minor in Law. He was a very active student during his time at AUPP as he was elected the President of AUPP Student Government and was also the editor-in-chief of the Eagle Times.

Currently, Rithiya is pursuing a master’s degree and a doctoral degree in Political Science at Northern Illinois University (NIU) in the United States while also working as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for the Department of Political Science and Graduate Research Assistant for the Center for Southeast Asia Studies. Rithiya knew about this study opportunity through an associate professor at NIU that visited AUPP’s professors a few years ago. After completing his PhD, he plans to return to Cambodia and work in academia and for the government.

Rithiya also shares with us three fundamentals he gained from his time at AUPP that helped him with his graduate education. Firstly, he would like to point out how AUPP’s faculty members have helped him to explore and learn many varied topics. Secondly, it was the courses at AUPP that enabled him to communicate effectively and think like a scholar. Lastly, the assignments and class discussions provide a solid foundation for him to produce research articles at graduate school.

Rithiya advises all current students at AUPP to take control of both their education and career. He explains that students should explore many different topics and courses in order to identify their field of interest, career choices as well as possible graduate study plans while pursuing their bachelor’s degree because it is never too early. Last but not least, Rithiya also revealed that it is important for everyone to keep in mind that their perspectives toward their future careers and education will very likely change during the period they spend at university.

Learn English with CCSP During COVID-19
Date: 2020-06-30T11:16:00

The Committee for Community Service Program (CCSP) is a student-led program at the American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP), established in 2016 with the aim of making positive changes in the local community through youth volunteerism and community engagement. Our work mainly focuses on spreading awareness and promoting a healthy and sustainable community where young future leaders can obtain access to better education, healthcare and living conditions in a safe environment.

As part of the program, CCSP established an English Teaching Department which provides both the opportunity of hands-on experience for AUPP students to volunteer as English teachers and help fill the gap made by the shortage of English teachers at local primary schools. Currently, the committee is conducting their English teaching program at Phnom Penh Thmey Primary School, with the sixth graders as their main target audience.

In April 2020, CCSP management body team and volunteers created a new project called “Learn English with CCSP”. This initiative came as a response to the announcement by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MOEYS), regarding the nationwide school closures due to Covid-19. Despite not being physically present in class teaching the pupils anymore, CCSP volunteers still passionately want to contribute to the program.

Therefore, inspired by the e-learning programs being implemented around the world, CCSP decided to make use of our social media platforms, both Facebook and Instagram, by delivering English lessons weekly, following the Grade 6 syllabus English textbook published by MOEYS. Two lessons are posted each week, one on Tuesdays and another on Saturdays. Normally, nine vocabulary words from each unit are chosen and then translated to Khmer. Each vocabulary word is accompanied by an example sentence and further translation.

Although the impact that this project is making has not yet been measured, CCSP is proud and gratified to play a part in furthering English language learning in Cambodia. We also look forward to working on improvements and upgrading our project in the future.

NGUON Kim, President of CCSP.
Meet One of Our Inspiring Alumni, Sievlan Len!
Date: 2020-06-25T11:10:00

Sievlan is one of our very bright and successful Alumni who graduated from the American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP) with a degree in Global Affairs.

Sievlan grew up in Siem Reap and moved to Phnom Penh to further her higher education at AUPP. Upon her graduation, she received a fully funded scholarship from Knight-Hennessy scholarship program to continue her master’s studies in the United States. Currently, she is a first-year student pursuing the Ford Dorsey Master’s in International Policy at Stanford University.

According to Sievlan, AUPP helped her to prepare for Stanford by providing her opportunities to learn, lead and grow. She continues that at AUPP, students were pushed to think critically and held up to high standards. AUPP’s investment on students’ learning opportunities outside the classroom, such as volunteering programs and student-led activities, made a significant impact on her.

As an alumnus, she would like to congratulate all students who made it to university and chose AUPP. She also shares some helpful advice to current AUPP’s students:

1. Be proactive in your learning.

If you feel like you are falling behind, do not understand something, or just feel stressed and overwhelmed, seek help. Talk to your professors or friends about it. Remember that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength, self-care, and proactiveness. Professors love proactive students.

2. Never forget that you have a voice and that your voice matters.

It is hard to not question the validity of your own opinion when you are sitting among a group of intelligent people. Always remember that everyone’s opinion and voice matters, and that include yours too!

3. Build good relationship with your professor.

Visit your professors during their office hours and ask them any questions you have. The one-on-one meeting will allow your professors to get to know you better so that they can write you good recommendation letters for grad school, internships, and job applications.

4. Find a good balance between class and extracurricular activities.

Don’t feel overwhelmed by the expectation that we have to maintain good academic standing. Get some volunteer and internship experiences, as well. These will give you breaks from your studies and be valuable learning experiences, too!

AUPP Law Professor Publishes Article
Date: 2020-02-26T17:27:00

AUPP Law Professor Published in the New York International Law Review

Congratulations to Dr. Sothie Keo, Adjunct AUPP Law Professor, on the publication of his recent article, ‘International Investment Arbitration and Corruption: The Arbitrability of Corruption and its Remedy,’ in the New York International Law Review, a publication of the International Law and Practice Section of the New York State Bar Association.

Dr. Keo’s article analyzes the nature of arbitrating corruption and its possible remedies. Under the doctrine of ‘unclean hands’ or in pari delicto, investor-State tribunals have leaned towards dismissing cases that are tainted with corruption. As a result, corruption has emerged as a form of defense used by respondents. The article discusses how outright dismissals of cases tainted with corruption can sometimes lead to unjustly enriching the respondents.

The article instead proposes a balancing of factors to determine the culpability of each party in order to issue an adequate remedy. Depending on the culpability of each party, in certain cases it may be more just for the tribunal to order a repayment of the value of the investment as well as the bribery money, in other cases, the repayment of only the bribery money, and when both parties are equally at fault or the claimant is more at fault, then dismissal.

AUPP Law Professor, Dr. Sothie Keo:

Dr. Sothie Keo earned his Juris Doctor and Masters of Law in International Human Rights from Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, and his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Washington. He is currently working as a Legal Officer to the Civil Party Lead Co-Lawyers Section of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia. Dr. Keo, together with the Lead Co-Lawyers, represent and assist the Civil Parties, who are victims of the Khmer Rouge regime.

Dr. Keo is a licensed attorney in both the Kingdom of Cambodia and the US State of Colorado. Prior to returning to Cambodia, he worked as a Deputy State Public Defender for the Office of the Colorado State Public Defender, where he was a criminal defense trial lawyer representing indigent defendants. During law school Dr. Keo interned at Human Rights Watch in New York, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in Singapore, and the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

Dr. Keo is an AUPP Law Professor teaching International Law to junior law students during the Spring Semester 2020.

We look forward to hearing about the further successes of our students in Tucson.

According to the one of the students: “it’s definitely an opportunity, I’ve never traveled this far before. Getting to be here and experience the campus is really cool.”

Another student mentioned he chose the program because it’s a cost-effective way to earn two degrees, without needing to reside in the United States. However, he does hope to come to the U.S. for his master’s degree so he considers his weeks at the UA a valuable experience for building connections with professors and researchers.

“Being here will give us a better idea of what it’s like to be an engineer in the future,” In said. “And a degree from the University of Arizona will be recognized by the world.”

Exploratory Academic-Related Field Trip to Green Palace Hotel

with our Dual Degree Students in Tourism and Hospitality Management

The students from the Tourism and Hospitality Management class recently undertook a field trip to Green Palace Hotel, as an integral part of their learning.

Students were given a tour of the hotel grounds, including the reception and lobby area, hotel rooms, and other amenities, such as the spa, gym, business center, meeting and conference rooms, restaurant, café, and sky bar. They also had the chance to meet Mr. Kosal Sou, the Hotel Manager and Mr. Sophann Kun, the Human Resources Manager. The students asked questions about careers and discussed several issues with regards to the overall operation of the hotel.

The students enjoyed the field trip, which gave them a better insight into the tourism and hospitality industry, particularly the hotel industry. In addition, this gave our students the opportunity to acquire valuable experience that can help them relate their academic learning into practical application.

In addition to the required internship program, each student is always involved in multiple class-related field trips, so you can experience and observe the operations whilst learning in classes with highly experienced and trained professors from the two universities; AUPP and Fort Hays State University (FHSU).

Date: 2019-01-10T17:05:00

Seven recent Cambodian graduates of the American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP) traveled to the United States to receive their dual degree diplomas from one of that country’s most prestigious universities.

This is the first time ever for AUPP students to be directly conferred a degree by the University of Arizona (UA) – a U.S. partner university of AUPP. UA and AUPP collaborate to ensure high-quality education for students at AUPP in Cambodia without the need to travel to the United States and pay the significant cost of a US degree.

AUPP is the only university in Cambodia that offers students the option to earn fully accredited U.S. degrees; one of which is from AUPP and the other from one of AUPP’s U.S. partner universities; the University of Arizona (UA) or Fort Hays State University (FHSU).

After successfully completing all courses at AUPP in Cambodia, students can earn their US university degree. If they choose, students can also complete their degree at one of AUPP’s U.S. partner universities instead.

Most of the seven students who attended graduation at UA studied Business Administration, which is the most popular major in Cambodia.

AUPP offers a wide range of majors to students, including Business, Law, Civil Engineering, Information Technology Management, Tourism Management and Hospitality, Architecture, and Global Affairs.
AUPP Architecture Class Project
Date: 2018-08-31T16:47:00

AUPP architecture class is implementing a major-related project within a course called Building Control Systems I. This course is about understanding interior requirements for human comfort within living or working space. It includes topics like basic building typology, human space dimensions, air quality, heat comfort, pipelines, HVAC, and wires design.

Prior to Building Control Systems design, students need to understand space where all the system elements will be designed. Therefore, they are asked to design the smallest studio apartment 6x6m which represent the smallest dimension in which one does not need to use retractable or adjustable furniture. Students had to draw their own designs individually as an assignment and then they got 30-45 min of group work where they all have to come up with a single 6x6m fully furnished apartment design. During the pictured class, students already did their sketch and they are visualizing their design on the real scale 1:1, thus they are learning to understand the real dimensions and scaled dimensions as they are literary walking on their own project. It’s like working on a real size project just with a tape.

If you are looking for a prestigious internationally accredited Architecture degree program, an Architecture degree at AUPP is your choice.

AUPP Welcome Back Cocktail Party
Date: 2018-08-30T16:44:00

AUPP Welcome Back Cocktail party was an evening to welcome back students for the new fall semester. This gave them the opportunity to interact with new and returning faculty in a casual setting and get to know one and other better over drinks and snacks. A great way to start the new school year by interacting with friends and classmates. With an exquisite arrangement of food and beverages available (including hamburgers, spring rolls, and pigs in a blanket), an electric atmosphere on the enchanting AUPP patio, and music provided by an AUPP student; everyone had a wonderful time dancing and chatting. The beginning of a new semester can be a stressful and busy time.

There is so much to do and, in many situations, there is little time to get around to social activities. Clearly the pressure on everyone starts right as classes begin. Yet, having a way to unwind and decompress allows everybody involved to ease into new responsibilities and establish relationships heading into the future, a key competent to student success. Inevitably, students settle into their class schedule, but the chance to unwind at school is certainly an invigorating experience. Being able to relax in the evening is a part of what student life is all about and is encouraged as a part of their development. We are glad to see people attend and that they enjoyed the evening’s festivities. The goal is to get everyone involved as much as possible and to be able to facilitate that is an excellent ice breaker. AUPP looks forward to providing the best environment possible to correlate to promoting the highest quality of students.

In this fashion hosting events of the same caliber is paramount. We hope to see an even better turnout at the next event and being able to sustain the development of students into young adults. Best of luck to all students this year!

AUPP’s 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Campaign 2017
Date: 2017-12-05T16:33:00

4 December marked the first ever on-campus action at AUPP to support the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign! The students of the Fall Semester 2017 Global Affairs: Gender and Development, taught by Professor Hedy Tripp, class organized a message writing campaign and engaged with the student body, faculty, and staff to promote conversations about how we can all end gender-based violence and end all violence against women and girls. The student organizers of the event hope to communicate their recommendations from this event to the student government to build momentum for a yearly on-campus action to support the campaign. Congratulations to the students for a successful campaign! AUPP is proud to participate in #16Days.

16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign to raise awareness and organize community action against gender-based violence. In 1991 activists at the Women’s Global Leadership Institute organized the first 16 Days campaign, and every year from 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day, organizations around the world take action in their communities to put a stop to gender-based violence. One of this year’s powerful themes is expressed in the hashtags #LeaveNoOneBehind #EndViolenceagainstWomenandGirls. An important goal of this year’s campaign is to organize actions to end gender-based violence happening in our educational systems.
