UCI Professional Programs

I am saddened to share that Philippe Relouzat, former Academic Advisor for University Programs and instructor at the Division of Continuing Education's Professional Programs, has passed away.

Philippe was a beacon of light and goodness who shared his love of education and enthusiasm for students throughout his life. He was a dear friend and mentor to so many. Philippe, you will be missed.

After many years of successfully assisting international students meet their academic and career goals, the Professional Programs unit is no longer in existence. ESL and Certificate Programs are still being offered and information can be found on the Division of Continuing Education website at ce.uci.edu.

If you would like to contact Kelly Oto or any former Professional Programs staff, you can find them on Facebook or LinkedIn. It was an honor to serve you - our wonderful students and colleagues. Farewell.

Did you know that Japan is home to more than 33,000 businesses with at least 100 years of history, which is over 40% of the world's total (Research Institute of Centennial Management)? These businesses have a higher purpose and are the owner's sense of pride and history. They are not chasing revenue and growth and are risk averse. This is a lesson during pandemic times.

There are positives and challenges to this philosophy. As a business professional, what philosophy do you prescribe?
