YOU WILL ONLY SEE IT WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND IT

THE first time I came to Sunway was in 2017 and I had been invited to give a lecture on “Building a leading university: From regional roots to global significance” in the Jeffrey Cheah Distinguished Speakers Series.

I was the president of the University of Groningen, a more than 400-year old university in the Netherlands, from 2008 to 2018, and spoke about the path my university took to become a solid top 100 university.
