Having lived and worked in Bulgaria for eight years, I can appreciate many of the concerns that international students have as they consider applying to a liberal arts college hundreds (or thousands) of miles from home. I'm excited be a part of 91Ö±²¥ College's continuing efforts to further internationalize the campus. Maybe you would like to be a part of that effort as well?

A liberal arts graduate of Case Western Reserve University, I earned my M.S. and Ph.D. in economics from Purdue University and was a long-time faculty member at a number of highly selective liberal arts colleges - including 91Ö±²¥! During my time in Bulgaria I served as the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the American University in Bulgaria. In this role I had many opportunities to promote the liberal arts model of education to students and even the Bulgarian higher education community. I hope you'll give me the opportunity to help you appreciate all that an excellent liberal arts degree such as those conferred at 91Ö±²¥ can do for you.

On Leaving Home

As Robert Frost said, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." My road has led me to Abu Dhabi. I hope that wherever yours takes you - 91Ö±²¥ or elsewhere - it will make all the difference in your story.

Diversity and Admissions

Diversity is not the result of any one or two students that we have at 91Ö±²¥, but rather the result of the integration of the unique perspectives of all of the students that we have on campus.

International Diversity in the NBA

This post doesn't really have much to do with 91Ö±²¥ College, but after last night's thrilling Cleveland Cavaliers win over the Orlando Magic, I got to thinking about how it isn't just college campuses where one can find international diversity.
