AEMPIN Employs Leading Faculty and Instructors
Below are some of the listing of AEMPIN’s faculty / Visiting Scholars in our Programs. Hundreds of distinguished individuals have taught and continue to teach in AEMPIN seminars since 2003. The faculty comes from the private sector, government, universities, and international organizations, from within the United States and abroad. In addition to being extraordinarily accomplished in their fields, they share an ability to convey both a theoretical foundation and effective real-world skills.
Each seminar is led by a Specialist, appointed for their broad experience and knowledge of the topic. A typical seminar is taught by a number of lecturers – each chosen for their contributions to the field and professional accomplishments. Because the seminar is conducted by several faculty members, participants benefit from a deeper and broader array of experience than would be possible in a course taught entirely by a single person.
