APSIA is pleased to announce that Miguel Santos, Dean of Tecnológico de Monterrey School of Government and Public Transformation (EGobiernoyTP), has joined the APSIA Executive Committee as an At-Large member for the remainder of the 2023-2025 term. In this role, he will serve on the membership evaluation committee and help move applications for APSIA affiliation forward.

Dean Santos holds a Master in Public Administration from Harvard University Kennedy School (USA), Master in Economics, Finance and International Relations from Pompeu Fabra University (Spain), and PhD in Economics from the University of Barcelona (Spain). An expert in public development policies and the author of numerous academic and media articles and collective books, he worked for seven years at Harvard Kennedy School, as an adjunct professor and director of applied research at the Harvard Growth Lab. From there, Dean Santos led multidisciplinary teams in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East, to assist national and regional governments in their growth and development strategies. He was a visiting professor at the London School of Economics, LSE, in the United Kingdom, and director of the Growth Co-Lab, a joint initiative of LSE and Harvard.

SGPT is committed to being a leader in the creation of public and social value across Latin America. Through innovative, transdisciplinary approaches, Tec trains professionals equipped to transform the public sector and conduct research that pushes the boundaries of knowledge to address society's most pressing challenges. The EGobiernoyTP offers a range of high-caliber graduate programs in face-to-face, hybrid, and online formats, delivered from our campuses in Monterrey and Mexico City. 

The Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs (APSIA) brings together the leading graduate schools around the world which specialize in international affairs. We strengthen our members and affiliates by gathering information and sharing ideas. We connect prospective students and employers to our member schools, so that they can capitalize on the skills an APSIA education provides. We collaborate with other higher education institutions and the professional international affairs community in order to address common problems. 

The APSIA Executive Committee provides high-level governance for the Association. We look forward to working with Dean Santos and the rest of the committee as they serve from June 1, 2023 - May 31, 2025. We are also extremely grateful to Peter Loewen, former Dean of the University of Toronto Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, whose term ended in May 2024.
