Dr. Jose Moreno

My career as educator wouldn’t happened without cross-border experiences. I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. My first cross-border experience was at the age of 11. My family and I made an unforgettable road trip from the heart of Mexico to Vancouver, Canada. Since then, I treasure every international journey as the most precious learning events I have ever had. And this passion for international experiences is what I try to transfer to my students in the classroom.

Cross-border experiences help us to open mind and heart. They move us to appreciate and enjoy the cultural differences around the world, as well as integrate us as one community in the global reality. On my first visit to UIW, I was touched by its mission and its commitment to “the development of the whole person and values of life-long learning”, which I cannot conceive as possible without cross-border experiences for our students and faculty.
