Miss Norranuch Paikaew joined the University as acting chief accountant in 1983. In 1984 and based on her satisfactory performance, she was promoted to Director of the Finance Department. Through her knowledge, dynamism and ingenuity, she has developed a system that is the envy of many other institutions who regularly send their officers to study our system of maintaining and preparation of accounts. The financial reports presented by the University have been hailed by the Ministry of University Affairs as superb and fit to serve as a model for others. Eager to improve herself, she is constantly looking for ways and means to learn more in order to perform better by attending lectures or seminars in her field of expertise.

Whenever she is called for extra-duty, whether to arrange meetings, receptions of dignitaries or important celebrations or share her experience and knowledge, she will contribute generously to the best of her ability whether it means long hours of work at night or whole week-ends far from home. She has helped all the schools of the St. Gabriel Foundation develop sound financial systems and goes on giving them support and advice whenever it is necessary.

In sum, Miss Norranuch Paikaew has surpassed all the requirements expected ofher as the Director of the Finance Department of Assumption University and is hereby awarded the St. Bernard Award for Special Merit (2nd Class) on December 24,2003.
