Turkey andMiddle EastProgram
Since 1855, the University of San Francisco has enriched the world with leaders in all spheres of human activity. From chief executives of Fortune 100 companies and senior government officials in Washington to Hall of Fame athletes and publishers of international magazines, USF has influenced the kind of world we live in. Today, the School of Management builds on that legacy. It attracts faculty and students from allover the world, and implements programs with global reach. Our international degree curriculum, with partner schools in Asia and Europe; our academic immersion programs, in China, South America, Russia, Turkey, the Middle East and Europe; our participation in Fulbright fellowship programs, with opportunities around the globe (USF is listed among the top ten recipients of Fulbright fellowships, for U.S. based research universities); our involvement with NGOs and authors dealing with fundamental issues of human rights; and, most of all, a faculty that is active with teaching, research and professional projects, in more than twenty countries, all combine to create a vibrant environment that serves our basic mission: to educate the hearts and minds of tomorrow’s leaders. “Big picture” ideas and pragmatic, on-the-front-line projects find an inquisitive and supportive audience where we live and work. Our school is integrated into a region that boasts the genius and success of Silicon Valley, as well as a singular importance for China trade and finance and the vision to make historic investments in biotechnology. And more. We offer, in short, a rich menu of opportunities that is unsurpassed anywhere on the planet. So consider joining us in our ongoing mission. The world need people of good intent, intelligence and energy to create, gather up and apply resources to solve seemingly intractable problems: poverty, war, religious persecution, environmental degradation and social injustice. Whether it’s in the world of commerce or public policy, as an entrepreneur or leader of a large organization, or in your own country or around the world, USF’s School of Management offers the chance to work with others of the same mind and purpose – to create value, for today and for tomorrow. If you are interested in learning more about our students, faculty and programs, please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you. Cordially, Dr. Mike WebberDeanSchool of ManagementUniversity of San Francisco

Mouwafac Sidaoui
TO OUR FRIENDS inAbu Dhabi, Dubaiand Istanbul Thank you for your cooperation and generosity. The kindness you extended to our MBA students at the University of San Francisco has enriched their learning and provided wonderful memories.
Our university’s mission is to offer students a rigorous education that will prepare them for leadership roles in creating a more just world. Engagement with people and institutions around the globe is an essential part of that preparation. Indeed, it is this global vision that underlies our program of travel abroad classes and projects, from human rights endeavors in Africa and entrepreneurial activities in Asia to health education services in the Middle East and scientific missions in South America.
Your contribution of thought, time and resources is an invaluable part of the effort. History celebrates the gifts that the peoples from Istanbul to the Arabian Peninsula have already offered humanity in art, science and commerce. Now, you are helping our students appreciate the contributions that beckon from the future. Whether it’s the UAE’s prominence in global finance and trade or Turkey’s commercial ascent and membership in the G20, it is clear that new worlds stir. When you share your experiences, accomplishments and ambitions with our future leaders, you boost their insight about how the world works and how we can make it better, for all.
Again, on behalf of the university, and our students,
we express our deepest gratitude for your participation in our program and offer this small token of student biographies as a reminder of those who will always cherish their visit with you.
