The seminar was opened by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tosawat Sitthawan, Vice President of the university, with Dr. Chokchai Khahattha, President of the Faculty Council, providing a report on the event. The seminar was honored by the presence of Mr. Yutthana Saraban, Senior Anti-Corruption Officer, and Ms. Lapassaveer Kothphu, Assistant Researcher from the Sakon Nakhon Provincial Anti-Corruption Office, who served as speakers. The session aimed to clarify misunderstandings surrounding the acceptance of gifts and donations, addressing the issue in the context of Thai culture, which often involves generosity in organizations.
