Dear SIU Alumni,
I hope that you had a wonderful and relaxing summer.
Once again, we have some interesting as well as enjoyable news items to share with you: Schiller International University looks forward to some exciting and positive changes ahead.
Yours,
Ute Gleich
SIU Alumni Management
Knowledge Investment Partners (KIP) is delighted to become a part of the Schiller University family and we are looking forward to a long and successful partnership. We have been inspired by the vision and mission Dr. Walter Leibrecht put forward over forty years ago and we are excited by the prospect of helping carry it forward.
We will help accelerate the reach of that mission around the world through significant investment in making Schiller an even more appealing option for both undergraduate and graduate students.

Our goals for Schiller are first to continue and to enhance the excellent education students receive at the school. This includes investing in information technologies, not only in the classroom, but also in tools that can help students with all aspects of their student life, including post graduation career development.
Schiller is fortunate to have one the largest number of alumni from different countries of any university in the world. We are excited to help our existing students and recent graduates to help leverage the strength of this important network.

Our second goal is to grow the university by attracting more students from countries around world. We intend to significantly increase enrollments at all of Schiller's existing campuses and expect at some point in the future to add two or three new campuses. These may include a campus in Asia, the Middle East or South America.
Finally, we will be helping Schiller strengthen its already outstanding programs in International Business Administration, International Relations and Hospitality Management.

KIP is both humbled and inspired by the Schiller mission. Schiller International University has a very bright future and we are excited to be a part of it.
Kind regards,
Robert C. Daugherty Chairman and Managing Partner Knowledge Investment Partners LLC
