Testimonials
“Challenging my students is what I do best.”
"I love the diversity within the ADU campuses. The experience of working in such a cross-cultural environment is both challenging (in a positive way) and rewarding. I’m based in the Al Ain campus and I find that the open-door policy adopted by faculty adds to this wonderful atmosphere.
Challenging my students is what I do best. I encourage them to keep an open mind and question whatever I tell them. Human Resource Management is all about people – and there are so many variables when dealing with people. This is why I instill in my students the importance of questioning their own perceptions."
