U21Global, a premier online graduate school, has appointed Salma Ahmed as manager, Graduate Education Programmes, as part of its expansion in the UAE and GCC.

She will be responsible for launching and growing various services, including the school’s UAE students and alumni chapter association.

Salma, who is based in Dubai and joins U21Global from St. Xavier University in Chicago where she was Assistant Director of Campus Life, will also be responsible for developing similar organisations and activities for students and alumni across the GCC and in Africa.

“Given Salma’s background and extensive experience, she is ideally positioned to help build our consumer business in the GCC by creating networking environments for students and alumni that form such an integral part of the learning experience at leading graduate schools,” said Vikram Tah, managing director, Middle East, Africa and Pakistan for U21Global.

U21Global is backed by an international network of leading research-intensive universities in 11 countries and leverages its online delivery infrastructure to provide substantial learning advantages through a convenient medium that enables learners to balance work, business travel and family life.-TradeArabia News Service
