Director's Message
Welcome to the Institute for Global Higher Education (IGHE), a dynamic “think-and-do” tank at the heart of Duke Kunshan University’s mission to transform higher education on a global scale.
As an innovative hub within DKU, IGHE serves as both a catalyst and collaborator in advancing the future of higher education through three core pillars: strategic planning that shapes institutional direction, internal incubation of innovative educational initiatives, and external engagement with partners worldwide who share our vision for educational excellence.
Our work directly aligns with and amplifies DKU’s ambitious mission to become a global innovator in teaching and learning within liberal arts education. We foster an environment where bold ideas meet practical implementation, and where the boundaries between thinking and doing dissolve in service of creating more effective, inclusive, and impactful higher education experiences.
As the China Director, my team and I look forward to collaborating with you in shaping the future of global higher education and building meaningful partnerships that advance our shared commitment to education.
Dr. Yisu Zhou
IGHE China Director
