EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR &
DEAN'S MESSAGEWe will be shaped by the core values
of academic freedom, open-
mindedness, experimentation,
creativity, innovation, dependability,
optimism, resilience and service to
others. We focus more on what we call
“Doing” or skills and “Being” or a
sense of purpose and identity, not
merely on “knowing” or analytical
knowledge. We aim to develop
competencies essential for success and
leadership in the emerging global
economy by being harbingers of
change. We will lead in generating
cutting-edge fundamental and applied
knowledge that enables one to be
empathetic and positively impact local
and global communities. We shall
empower students to lead by example
through effective engagement with
issues such as mental health and
wellbeing, democracy, urbanization,
technological change, economic
empowerment, sustainability,
globalization, inclusion and diversity.
Our educational approach will be one
that focuses on and looks at
alternatives for critical contemporary
issues , prioritizes humanity and
culture, ethics and values, gender
equality, community service and social
responsibility and places collaborative
project based experiential learning atthe center of the educational
experience. We shall enable students
to understand, contribute to and
succeed in a rapidly changing society
with intelligence, sensitivity and
concern thus making the world a better
and more just place.
