Kennesaw State’s Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs Kathy Schwaig appointed a new interim vice provost of global affairs Aug. 23 after Dr. Ron Matson departed from the position earlier in August.
Dr. Sheb True has only been the new interim vice provost for a week now, but plans to help students readily access more opportunities with the Division of Global Affairs.
True said that he and his colleagues have been hard at work coming up with ways to help the Division of Global Affairs have more of an active status on campus.
“We need to take what we are doing and take it to the students,” True said.
In the coming months, True said that the Division of Global Affairs will be setting up booths that will allow students to learn more about foreign exchange and studying abroad.
As an educator who has taught across the country, including in California and Colorado, True is excited to bring more opportunities to the school.
True said he has helped spearhead opportunities for students to study abroad and gain meaningful experiences in class settings and around the world.
According to KSU’s Division of Global Affairs website, True served as the Senior International Officer and Interim Director of the MBA programs in the Coles College of Business. True has a passion for international programming and global initiatives.
KSU’s Division of Global Affairs is a multi-departmental organization that works to connect KSU and its students to the world.
The DGA works with local businesses, domestic and international universities and humanitarian organizations in the U.S. and throughout the world to provide global engagement opportunities for students and enhance KSU’s prominence into the international spotlight.
If students are interested in learning more about studying abroad, internships or programs that the Division of Global Affairs is offering, that information can be found at their website https://dga.kennesaw.edu/ or by visiting their office on Town Point Drive.
