FROM THE CHANCELLOR

Mr. Kitack Lim / WMU Chancellor / Secretary-General International Maritime Organization

It is an honor to serve as Chancellor of WMU, and to witness the continued growth and influence of the University since it was founded in 1983, and since my own graduation from WMU in 1991. The work of WMU, through education, research and capacity building, is indispensable to the shipping industry. The strength of the interdisciplinary studies offered at WMU is that its graduates are well-rounded, informed, intelligent individuals with a holistic approach to maritime and ocean subjects. They are equipped to work as experts for the benefit of the international maritime community that is deeply interconnected. Our concerted efforts will ensure that our magnificent ocean is passed on to future generations and that we achieve a sustainable and equitable maritime industry.
