“People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.” – Simon Sinek

At MUIC, we set our sights on a new vision. At MUIC, we believe that for most people, education is very personal, both in the way it is practiced and the way it is perceived. As a result, we are aiming to create learning experiences that resonate with all those involved.

ENRICHING LIVES speaks of how learning often elevates us to new heights by allowing us to see, hear, think and experience that which we have never done before. This can be learning a new computer skill, understanding a poem or simply talking to classmates who have come from across the globe and realizing that, as different as we all are, we are more alike than we have ever imagined. These experiences shape our understanding and cultivate our sense of belonging to our community, our country and our planet.

EXPANDING POTENTIALS speaks of the challenges from an ever-changing world that awaits all of us, staff, students and faculty members alike. As real practitioners of our disciplines, from marketing to molecular science, we are faced with tasks that test our limits of understanding and creativity every day. In turn, we use these and other real-life dilemmas to guide students in learning to solve problems with originality and creativity. Facing these challenges expands the understanding of both our current capability and our potential for growth.

SHAPING FUTURES is a mindset that is forward-looking and outward-oriented. When people from diverse academic and social backgrounds are immersed in an education ecosystem such as MUIC, solutions to problems and their deployment come naturally, from reducing single-use plastics on campus to finding a platform for gender equality to digital innovations in business and health. The interdisciplinary, individualized education environment at MUIC forms the basis for cultivating global citizens who can integrate and communicate their ideas effectively and authentically across disciplines and topics and ultimately become active participants in the global community.

Finally, as a teacher and MUIC’s Dean, I believe that this vision represents who we are as educators and as an educational institution. It represents our own exceptional contribution to society and one whose uniqueness will stand the test of time.

MUIC. Enriching lives. Expanding potentials. Shaping futures.
