As part of our ongoing transformation since rebranding from the College of Extended University to the College of Professional and Global Education (CPGE) in 2022, we are proud to share two key leadership appointments that advance our mission and deepen our global impact.
Dr. Lisa Xue has been named Assistant Vice President of Global Campus and Senior International Officer (SIO).
Mr. Arthur (Haichao) Wang has been appointed Interim Associate Director of International Programs Operations and Principal Designated School Official (PDSO).
These appointments mark the next phase in CPGE’s evolution as we unify the Global Education Institute (GEI) with the International Center, home to Study Abroad and International Students and Scholars Services (ISSSO), under a new Global Campus structure. This integrated model will streamline operations, expand international partnerships, and deliver an enhanced experience for globally minded students and partners.
A Vision for Global Engagement
These leadership moves are grounded in the CPGE Vision Map and the 2024 Action Plan for Strategic Growth, reflecting our commitment to innovation, inclusion, and internationalization. We aim to build a dynamic Global Campus that supports student mobility, cross-border collaboration, and access to transformative global learning.
