Staff

It is recognised that all language programs at university level require native speaker participation. The university has therefore strived for a balance between native English speaking and Cambodian teachers.

International Staff:
Several organizations provide volunteers to the English Language Support Unit: Maryknoll (USA), Christian & Missionary Alliance (Canada), Volunteer Service Abroad (New Zealand), United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia (USA), the United States Information Service (USA), OMF (UK) and Princeton in Asia. These volunteers typically teach within ELSU on a temporary basis.
