“It is an esteemed honor to serve as the inaugural Overseas Dean of the Faculty of TNE at SIU Throughout my professional career I have held to the belief that it is essential that our institutions of higher education graduate globally competent students, that is, students possessing a combination of critical thinking skills, technical expertise, and global awareness allowing them “not only to contribute to knowledge, but also to comprehend, analyze, and evaluate its meaning in the context of an increasingly globalized world.” For our students, global competence is an indispensable qualification of global citizenship, that is, the ability to work cooperatively in seeking and implementing solutions to challenges of global significance, e.g., economic, technological, political, and environmental. The Faculty of TNE at SIU is committed to achieving this goal for each and every enrolled student.
