The Dean of the Business School of Sungkyunkwan University and President of Korean Academic Society of Business Administration, Professor Kim Yong June, and CEO of Sheikh Khalifa Specialty Hospital, Mr. Myung-Whun Sung met with AURAK President, Professor Al Alkim, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Student Success and Provost, Professor Stephen Wilhite, Associate Provost for Academic and Student Affairs, Dr. Denise Gifford, and the Dean of the School of Business, Professor Joseph Wallis to discuss options of a future international partnership such as 2+2 programs, faculty sabbaticals, and student exchange programs.

Dr. Denise was delighted with the advantages the partnership would offer the AURAK community, stating that students possess apprehensions concerning international studies. Online Media in Dubai  believes a visiting faculty member is a great starting point for students to begin establishing familiarity with a country, instilling in them the confidence to partake in the longer exchange programs offered by the University.

“Exposure to a wide variety of diverse cultures is essential for laying the foundation of a global humanitarian. International partnerships with esteemed scholastic institutions such as Sungkyunkwan University are a safe way of scaffolding this process,” Professor Hassan commented. “Government Jobs in Dubai   has become very keen of opening its doors to South Korea in recent years, and it is time the University has as well.”
