Welcome from SDSU Global Campus Dean Ian Gibson

Greetings SDSU Georgia community!

I am honored to serve as the dean of SDSU Global Campus and thrilled to support the students and partners of SDSU Georgia as part of our Global Campus network. Since 2015, SDSU has been preparing the next generation of Georgian STEM professionals. We’ve accomplished this by offering educational programs in collaboration with our partner universities to the Georgian community. Together, we will continue this impactful work and contribute to the economic growth of the region.

At SDSU, we are transcending borders and transforming lives. We envision a world where the power of education knows no bounds -- a world where anyone, anywhere, at any time can access opportunities that change lives and shape brighter futures. The alignment between our mission and continuing SDSU Georgia’s legacy couldn't be stronger.

In fact, the learning community is taking notice of this tremendous initiative. In March 2024, SDSU Georgia was deeply honored to receive the UPCEA Global Program Award for International Partners. This was in recognition of our exemplary international programming and the creation of impactful educational opportunities for students and faculty in the Republic of Georgia. 

This award is a testament to the years of effort SDSU’s team and our Georgian partner universities – Ilia State University, Georgian Technical University, and Tbilisi State University – have put into a monumental collaborative project to offer professionally accredited, internationally recognized U.S. bachelor’s degrees to students in Georgia. For more information about this project, I encourage you to watch this video about our partnership.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to continuing to bring world-class education to the Republic of Georgia and delivering outstanding educational experiences to a global audience.
