The Robins School of Business was officially admitted as a member in The Latin American Council of Management Schools at their annual assembly held last month.

The Latin American Council of Management Schools (CLADEA) is an international organization originally founded in Lima, Peru in 1967. CLADEA is a civil, non-profit association, with international scope and educational aims. CLADEA’s objective is to contribute towards the solution of the most pressing problems of Latin American societies through the teaching, research and spread of administration knowledge and techniques.

CLADEA carries out activities that aim to promote, raise the standards and widen the scope of the teaching of administration sciences and techniques amongst its members. They develop and administer training programs to foster social and economic improvement in Latin American societies and coordinate efforts to promote management research within CLADEA member institutions and Latin American society as a whole. “

CLADEA membership indicates to other institutions, both domestic and abroad, that the Robins School is very serious about internationalization. It is a strong statement about our desire to have close ties with Latin American institutions and we are able to participate in important activities as equals with other members,” said Dr. Tom Coss�, Associate Dean for International Programs.

The Robins School of Business was awarded the highest level of membership as a Titular Member. The Robins School achieved this due to its dedication to the teaching and research of management, our high quality undergraduate and graduate degree programs, and the high percentage of faculty with advanced academic degrees who teach and perform extensive research.
