This scenic outing brought together students and faculty members for a day of connection, exploration, and relaxation beyond the classroom. As participants journeyed to the tranquil island, they enjoyed breathtaking coastal views, sampled local delicacies, and took in the rich natural and cultural heritage of Tap Mun. The trip provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen bonds within the MPP community while taking a well-deserved break from academic life.
