Phnom Penh, Cambodia, 1st November 2016 – More than 600 students from various fields of study graduated from the Pannasastra University Cambodia (PUC) at the University’s 7th Commencement Ceremony since it opened in 2000.

Malaysian entrepreneur Vijay Eswaran was conferred the Honorary Doctorate in Economics and Global Business, the second such conferment in the University’s history.

You will have to step into the future and create a brand new planet. You will have to reinvent the wheel”, he said.
