Spring East Asia and Pacific Rim Colloquia—The Sammis Lecture Series

With a surging 17 percent annual growth in its Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Mongolia is an economy that gains growing attention. Thomas J. Ward, Dean of the University of Bridgeport’s College of Public and International Affairs, and Professor Yanmin Yu, Chair of the University’s Communication Studies’ programs, visited Mongolia in January where they met with leaders in education and government.

Hear their thoughts on Mongolia’s phenomenal growth and the challenges that Mongolia, geographically located betwixt China and Russia, faces and the choices it must make as development continues.
