President's Message

The history of the 20th century tells a story of increasing interaction between the nations of the world as transportation, communication, and business technologies continue to develop. Many nations are facing new and demanding challenges, especially in business, politics, and national development. The Asia-Pacific region needs leaders who can understand and face these challenges. Solutions to these new challenges will come from the next generation of leaders able to simultaneously see national needs in the context of regional and global conditions. This generation of leaders must be able to understand the changes sweeping the region, and they must work harmoniously and effectively with other nations and peoples to cope with them.

The primary vision for Asia-Pacific College is to develop able, effective, and balanced leaders of the Asia-Pacific region for the 21st century. APC seeks to provide a curriculum that blends theory and practice, history and analysis, scientific and humanistic views, and training that will produce leaders with a broad perspective on global economics, politics, business, and environmental concerns. By bringing together students from several different countries in an atmosphere of friendship and scholarly exploration, APC seeks to develop a cross-cultural orientation fostering friendships that will continue to support and inspire its alumni for years to come.

Aloha,
President, Jai-Ho Yoo
