As we reflect on the past year, I am filled with immense gratitude for the collective efforts that have driven our progress and achievements. Our team’s dedication and passion have been the cornerstone of our success, and I am deeply thankful for their hard work. I would also like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to our generous donor, whose unwavering support has been instrumental in enabling us to expand our impact.
I am also profoundly grateful to our Governing Board, the University President, and the Vice Presidents for their guidance and encouragement. Their steadfast support has empowered us to strive for excellence in our endeavors.
This year, we proudly welcomed the largest cohort of Master’s students in our history, a testament to the growing reputation of our programs. We also continue to attract high-caliber PhD students whose research contributes to advancing knowledge and addressing critical policy challenges.
Our work has grown more complex and impactful as we address multifaceted issues such as climate change, disaster management, mental health, spirituality, and transboundary challenges. These areas demand innovative, interdisciplinary approaches, and I am proud of our team’s ability to rise to the occasion.
Looking ahead, we are excited to launch a revised Master’s program focusing on climate and sustainability next year. This program reflects our commitment to equipping future leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle the pressing challenges of our time.
As we move forward, I remain inspired by the collective vision and determination of our team, partners, and supporters. Together, we are building a foundation for a more just and sustainable future.
