The SSBU 2nd Students' Academic Writing Workshop
SSBU Dhamma Hall
6 February 2026

 

On 6 February 2026, Shan State Buddhist University (SSBU) will hold the 2nd Students’ Academic Writing Workshop at the SSBU Dhamma Hall, as part of the series of academic activities commemorating the 10th Founding Anniversary of Shan State Buddhist University. This workshop provides an important forum for students to reflect on and strengthen their academic writing skills within the context of Buddhist higher education. 

The workshop is led by SSBU students and is designed as a peer-based academic exchange. Participants will share their experiences of academic writing in coursework, research assignments, and thesis preparation. Through structured presentations and discussions, students will address common challenges in academic writing, including clarity of argument, organization of ideas, engagement with sources, and adherence to academic conventions.

As an institution committed to integrating traditional Buddhist learning with contemporary academic standards, SSBU recognizes academic writing as a fundamental skill for scholarly communication. This workshop encourages students to develop greater confidence and responsibility in presenting their research, particularly in the fields of Buddhist Studies, Pāli, and related disciplines. The collaborative nature of the event reflects the Buddhist values of mutual support, careful listening, and shared learning.

All SSBU students are warmly invited to participate, whether as presenters or attendees. By creating a supportive academic environment, the workshop aims to enhance students’ capacity to articulate ideas clearly and rigorously, while fostering a culture of constructive feedback and continuous improvement.

The workshop is generously sponsored by the Chairman of CB Bank and KMA Group of Companies, U Khin Maung Aye, Daw Wut Yi Aye, and family, whose support contributes to the success of this commemorative academic programme.

The 2nd Students’ Academic Writing Workshop thus contributes meaningfully to the university’s anniversary celebrations, highlighting the central role of students in sustaining and advancing the academic life of Shan State Buddhist University.
