As a two-time graduate of Colorado State University (CSU,) I am excited to return to my alma matter as an Instructor in the College of Business teaching Computer Information Systems. I taught my first class in the Global Social and Sustainable Enterprises (GSSE) program in the Spring Semester of 2008. I felt lucky to be able to teach the first cohort of this innovative program. The GSSE program is described in more depth at
http://www.biz.colostate.edu/ms/gsse/. The most unique portion of this program are the summer experiential learning opportunities. This summer I have the pleasure of joining two teams who have already begun their in-country experiences. First I will travel to Bangladesh with the Small Engines team to explore the opportunities for a low cost, 1-HP, biodiesel engine being developed at CSU's Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory (
http://www.eecl.colostate.edu/) used for farm irrigation. For updates on this program read the excellent blog by student Mitesh Gala at

http://www.kimep.kz/.) My wife will join me for this leg of the trip starting in early July. This should prove to be an exciting summer for us - please join me for the journey.
