Dr. Abdullah Khan

Dr. Khan is an experienced economist and educator with passion for innovation in teaching, research, and service. He is particularly passionate in finding innovative ways to reach out to students with diverse learning styles concurrently and effectively.

Biography

Dr. Khan traveled extensively in the USA, Europe, South Asia, South East Asia, and the Caribbean. His work experience gained at the United Nations’ headquarters reinforced his vision of sustainable global economic development by blending global thoughts with local level entrepreneurial actions.

As an educator he always thrives to connect textbook theories with practical applications. This infusion of “real life” into his classroom teaching flows naturally and seamlessly as he draws from his previous work experience gained from serving as an educator and as a manager at various public and private for-profit and not- for-profit organizations. During holiday seasons, he enjoys long drives and taking hiking trips on the wooded trails at various local, state and national parks.
