Everyone will graduate, we have a great graduation rate, you need to be different from everyone else.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Suzuki understands that studying abroad is not an option for everyone, and while he plans to increase those opportunities, he explained that he also wants to create opportunities for our students here on campus,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMy goal is to go beyond that, because statistically speaking probably 5-10% of our students will be able to go out of the country, a majority will not. So I have a few ideas on how to help students who will never be able to go out of the country have a better education here on campus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His first step to achieving these ideas is through transparency, and better communication with students. Suzuki is building a social media presence to reach students more effectively. You can visit the Office of International Programs on Facebook <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UTCglobal\/timeline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As an undergraduate, Suzuki took advantage of an opportunity to study abroad after an earthquake devastated his hometown in Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt completely destroyed everything; the university was destroyed, but I was fortunate to have a scholarship to study abroad in the UK in Wales,\u201d Suzuki said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After college, Suzuki was working as a TV reporter in 1999 when he saw first-hand the Eastern European conflicts, and their heartbreaking devastation. Witnessing the lack of connections between states, governments, and people, he realized something needed to be done. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Suzuki explained, \u201cAt the higher level, they don\u2019t have those kind of connections. But at the grassroots level, if students go there and make friends, a small seed is eventually going to make a big flower. So I think students are the future of this world and I would like to be a part of that big project.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For those interested in the international opportunities offered at UTC, Suzuki has created new ways for students to communicate with his office through email. Students with general questions about the program can email <\/span><a href=\"mailto:goglobal@utc.edu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">goglobal@utc.edu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, for study abroad questions <\/span><a href=\"mailto:studyabroad@utc.edu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">studyabroad@utc.edu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, international students can email <\/span><a href=\"mailto:studyabroad@utc.edu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">studyabroad@utc.edu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and questions about English as a Second Language (ESL) can email <\/span><a href=\"mailto:esl@utc.edu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">esl@utc.edu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Takeo Suzuki, Executive Director of International Programs, is already brainstorming and implementing ideas to expand his program and tap into the needs of our University\u2019s students.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2015\/12\/takeo-suzuki-offers-fresh-leadership-to-international-programs\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":858,"featured_media":13979,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70,15,3,7712,661],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-14310","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-academics","8":"category-campus","9":"category-community","10":"category-faculty-and-staff","11":"category-students","12":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
