FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tokyo, October 22, 2003 - Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ) is pleased
to announce the appointment of William Swinton as its new assistant
dean of Management Education Programs, effective October 14, 2003.
Mr. Swinton oversees TUJ's Executive MBA program and is responsible
for introducing more management-related offerings in the Undergraduate,
Continuing Education, and Corporate Education programs at TUJ.
Mr. Swinton brings to his new post at TUJ considerable
managerial experience. He comes to TUJ from Cable & Wireless,
where he was the global account manager. His experience prior to
that includes employment with corporate and not-for-profit organizations,
such as the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan (membership manager);
Rockland Community College, New York (director of community relations);
the Public Broadcasting System, New York (director of communications);
and Lincoln Center Theater, New York (audience development director).
For Mr. Swinton, the appointment to TUJ is a homecoming
of sorts. He earned his Executive MBA degree at TUJ in 1998. Previous
to that, he earned a B.A. in international relations from Stanford
University. Mr. Swinton's his firsthand knowledge of TUJ, strong
marketing background, administrative experience, and understanding
of international environments will undoubtedly enable him to expand
and enhance management education programs at TUJ.
"I am," he says, "excited about this
new challenge. I am very impressed by and agree with the TUJ Dean
Patterson's aggressive plan to expand and enhance TUJ. As a Temple
alumnus and a participant in the TUJ Executive MBA program, I hope
I can bring a voice as a former student. And my extensive experience
working in Japan and the U.S. will help me make a strategic plan
to raise the profile of the Executive MBA program and to develop
further business and management programs."
Mr. Swinton, who is originally from New York, has
been in Japan for eight years. He has numerous contacts in Tokyo's
international business community; and is active in various groups,
such as the Japan Stanford Association and the American Chamber
of Commerce in Japan.
