UA3/9/5 Partnerships for Progress: Linking Higher Education & Economic Development

Speech delivered by WKU president Gary Ransdell at the National Governor\u27s Association Center for Best Practices. In response to Governor Patton\u27s challenges to create Programs of Distinction and enhance the state\u27s capacity for economic development, we, at Western, have created a series of applied science centers. These centers are directing faculty talent toward creating a relevant curriculum in the sciences, toward solving environmental and material problems which limit economic development, and toward creating practice-based experiences for students. A by-product of these centers is a strengthened core curriculum which brings the applied sciences into focus for all WKU students

The Naval War College once again demonstrated its unique capability to enhance global maritime partnerships when naval leaders from more than a hundred nations converged in Newport, Rhode Island, at the Chief of Naval Operations’ twenty-third International Seapower Symposium (ISS) in mid-September 2018. They met to discuss cooperative strategies for enhancing global security, order, and prosperity. ISS is the world’s premier naval gathering, bringing together delegations from maritime services around the globe to bolster maritime and national security by discussing common challenges and facilitating shared opportunities

President\u27s Forum

AS IT HAS BEEN SINCE ITS INCEPTION, the Naval War College’s primary mission is to educate and develop future leaders. Our talented and highly motivated graduates complete their studies in Newport and then go on to serve in demanding positions in our military services, in those of our allies, and throughout the government’s national security sector. In these positions they apply the critical-thinking skill sets that were refined and honed at this great institution. Their close interaction with our extraordinary faculty and staff sparks a desire for lifelong learning that continues to pay dividends for our students both as national security practitioners and as informed and engaged citizens
