Professor and the Global Economy

Dr. Sean Jasso is preparing students for a competitive environment beyond the classroom through experience on a global level.​

“We get to see the students for who they are outside of their school work, and we can really prepare them for competing in a very fierce environment outside of the university. And our students are very well prepared to do that.”

Jasso, Professor of Practice at the School of Business, devotes his time to teaching UCR students business strategy and the business world on a global level. He recently took students to Mexico City, New York and Washington, D.C. as part of the growing Global Programs portfolio, and led students on a residency program in Shanghai and Ho Chi Minh City to experience first-hand Asia’s emerging markets.

About taking students abroad, he says, “We get to see the students for who they are outside of their school work, and we can really prepare them for competing in a very fierce environment outside of the university. And our students are very well prepared to do that.”

Global Programs, led by Jasso since 2010, has given hundreds of students from all majors across campus – both undergraduate, graduate and alumni – global exposure and firsthand interaction with the world’s most dynamic and emerging markets.

Global Programs established the annual Oxford Young Entrepreneurial Leadership Program at Mansfield College, Oxford in 2010. In the last few years, the Program has expanded to include China, Vietnam, Mexico City, Washington, D.C., and New York.
