Embarking on my Muay Thai journey at SLIIT has been a transformative experience. Balancing rigorous academic commitments with the demands of intensive training has instilled in me a profound sense of discipline and resilience. The unwavering support from the SLIIT community has been instrumental in my growth, both as a student and an athlete. Representing SLIIT and Sri Lanka on the international stage has been an honor, and I am committed to upholding the values of perseverance and excellence in all my endeavors.

Hello everyone, I’m Disara Abeywickrama from the Faculty of Humanities and Sciences. I began my degree program at SLIIT in 2019, right after my A/Ls, and I can confidently say this was the ideal place to begin my journey. The recognition I’ve received today isn’t 
just for academic performance—SLIIT provided me with numerous opportunities to grow beyond the classroom. I was a proud member of the SLIIT Debating Team, the Rotaract Club Editorial Team, the Leo Club, and the English Literary Association. These experiences shaped my personality and prepared me for the corporate world. The confidence I carry today is largely thanks to what SLIIT gave me. I’m proud to be a SLIIT graduate and I highly recommend it as the perfect place to start your future and achieve your goals.
