The Journey


Advancing the global exchange of ideas and opportunities in management education, I'm off to Europe and the Middle East on a 21-day trek during which I will teaching organizational behavior in Sardinia for a week and attending an international dean’s conference in Paris held by AACSB International (the primary association of business schools worldwide).

And that’s before . . . The highlight of the adventure: three days in Iran in early May to visit Sharif University of Technology in Tehran.

The UC Davis GSM was fortunate this year to receive a gift that will support six visiting international students to study at the School for one quarter. I will be traveling to Iran with Dr. Reza Abbaszadeh, who is the benefactor of the program and CEO of Premier Access Insurance Company in Sacramento (he also attended UC Davis as an undergraduate). In Tehran, we will meet with business students and to get to know the faculty and administrators at Sharif.
