Mary Ho, President of China Frontier and Diane Yu, Esq., Deputy President of New York University Meet to Discuss Developing Global Competencies in an Ever-Changing Global Society.<\/p><\/div>\n

Upstate New York Rochester natives, Mary Ho, China Frontier President and Diane Yu, Esq., Deputy President of New York University recently met to discuss the emerging role of how developing global competencies are critical to the success of higher educational learning in a global economy. Diane Yu’s father, world renowned cardiologist Paul N. Yu, M.D., pioneered the modern medical discipline of cardiology and served as president of the American Heart Association and was Chief of Cardiology at the University of Rochester Medical Center.<\/p>\n

As Deputy President, Yu works to ensure the effectiveness of the entire University Leadership Team. She is the founder of NYU\u2019s Women\u2019s Leadership Forum and is the University\u2019s Senior Executive for the Office of Equal Opportunity and Office of Compliance and Risk Management. Yu is the appointed Executive Director of the Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Scholars Program, a special university student educational and enrichment program which operates in the United Arab Emirates, formed as a partnership between NYU and the government of Abu Dhabi. She also is Executive Director of the NYU Abu Dhabi Summer Academy, an intensive college preparatory program for Emirati high school students.<\/p>\n

Along with NYU\u2019s campuses in London, New York and Abu Dhabi,\u00a0NYU Shanghai<\/a><\/strong> is newly established as a\u00a0comprehensive research university with a liberal arts and science college in China\u2019s financial capital.\u00a0For NYU, the creation of NYU Shanghai is another major step in the evolution of NYU as the first\u00a0global network university<\/em>\u00a0— standing with NYU New York and NYU Abu Dhabi as a degree-granting portal campus.\u00a0 The global network provides a new architecture for the University, an organic integrated system permitting faculty and students to move easily from within the system to pursue their scholarly interests.<\/p>\n

John Sexton, Esq., President of New York University states, \u201c… In the\u00a021st century, NYU is evolving from being, in the words of its founder, Albert Gallatin, \u2018in and of the city\u2019 to being \u2018in and of the world.\u2019 New York and Shanghai enjoy a natural affinity as world capitals; as vibrant, ambitious, and forward-looking centers of commerce and culture; as magnets for people of talent. As we did in Abu Dhabi, here in Shanghai we have found visionary partners, and our joint effort to create NYU Shanghai emerges out of a common belief in the indispensible value of higher education and in the special opportunities that can be created when the world\u2019s greatest cities join forces.\u00a0 This will be a great university and a great partnership.\u201d\u00a0NYU Shanghai\u2019s first class of undergraduate students will enter in September 2013.<\/p>\n

Jeffrey S. Lehman, president emeritus of Cornell University and dean of the University of Michigan Law School, has been named Vice Chancellor of\u00a0NYU Shanghai<\/a><\/strong>. As Vice Chancellor, he is the Chief Executive of NYU Shanghai, in charge of all academic and administrative operations.\u00a0NYU President John Sexton said, \u201cIt would be difficult to imagine \u00a0a better vice chancellor for NYU Shanghai than Jeff Lehman…” Since 2007, Vice Chancellor Lehman has been serving as the Chancellor and Founding Dean of the Peking University School of Transnational Law, the first school in China to teach an American law JD curriculum. Recently President Lehman received the \u201cFriendship Award,\u201d China\u2019s highest award for foreign experts who have made outstanding contributions to China\u2019s economic and social development.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
