I am pleased to join the inaugural Dean’s Advisory Board for the new Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, which brings together all faculty and their departments offering undergraduate and graduate programs in Global Studies. From International Relations and Security, to Global Development Policy, to deep-dive regional studies, the Pardee School is now offering multiple degrees to prepare principled, skilled leaders for the public and private sectors, and for development organizations around the world.
The Dean’s Advisory Board of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University held its inaugural meeting on April 25, 2018, at 121 Bay State Road. The board’s inaugural meeting with Pardee School Dean Adil Najam, Boston University Provost Jean Morrison and Pardee School Associate Dean for Academic Affairs William Grimes was preceded by a luncheon with Pardee School faculty and academic leadership.
