East Asia Management University (EAMU) proudly marked a significant milestone on 9 June 2026 with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Fairfield by Marriott Phnom Penh. The ceremony, held at EAMU's campus in Phnom Penh, brought together senior representatives from both institutions to formally commit to a shared vision of bridging higher education and the hospitality industry.

The MoU establishes a framework for meaningful collaboration across several key areas, including student internship placements, industry exposure programs, guest lectures by hospitality professionals, and joint professional development initiatives. These opportunities are designed to give EAMU students direct access to industry environments, equipping them with practical skills and career-ready experience that complement their academic studies.

Speaking at the ceremony, representatives from both organizations reaffirmed their commitment to developing future-ready talent and fostering innovation within Cambodia's hospitality and tourism sectors. The partnership reflects a mutual belief that the strongest education is one built in close collaboration with industry — where classroom learning and real-world practice reinforce each other.

EAMU remains steadfast in its mission to cultivate industry partnerships that create lasting value for students, faculty, and the broader community. This collaboration with Fairfield by Marriott Phnom Penh — a proud member of Marriott International's globally recognized hospitality portfolio — stands as a testament to the University's dedication to providing relevant, high-quality education that prepares graduates to thrive in an increasingly competitive global landscape.
