Dennis D. Miller, Associate Professor,
Baldwin-Wallace College, Berea, Ohio
Lecturing: Business Administration
Host: Ternopil Academy of National Economy, Ukraine
September 1999-June 2000

 

For nine months, Baldwin-Wallace College associate professor Dennis Miller taught courses on banking, microeconomics and labor economics to undergraduates at the Ternopil Academy of National Economy (TANE) in Ukraine.

Miller taught within a special international program that focuses on the principles of Western market economies, teaching students how to conduct business with and within such markets. For admission into this prestigious program, students must demonstrate an adequate understanding of spoken and written English. Applicants must also possess above average grades.

In addition to lecturing, Miller undertook some personal research related to his field during his visit. In fact, he developed a keen interest in later pursuing research on the importance of two factors needed for economic development: equality before the law and security of private property rights. He believes that these institutional factors are key to guaranteeing Ukraine's economic development.

As a result of this experience, "my work on international activities on my home campus will become even more intensified," says Miller. "I have established significant links with people in Ukraine and will continue to try to make them stronger. I will encourage faculty members on my campus and on other campuses to teach at TANE during their sabbaticals."

Miller also hopes to establish a scholarship that will support students from Ukraine who wish to study in the U.S.
