Joseph Stetar, Ph.D. Professor
Department of Education Leadership, Management & Policy
Seton Hall University<\/p><\/div>\n

Recently returning from \u4e2d\u56fd (China), Dr. Stetar is immersed in an exciting study that sheds light on the experiences of American students in Chinese universities by assessing President Obama\u2019s \u201c100,000 Strong Chinese Initiative,\u201d and the privatization of higher education in \u4e9a\u6d32 (Asia). Dr. Stetar is driven to understand the impact and goals of Americans studying in China, what it means to study in China as an \u7f8e\u56fd\u4eba (American), how Chinese higher education is preparing and attracting American students to study in their country, and what needs to be done to change how American students are integrating into Chinese culture. His most recent publication can be viewed here<\/a>. He looks forward to traveling to \u5317\u4eac\u5927\u5b66 (Peking University) this summer, along with his wife who is from China, where he will continue to study Chinese and American experiences.<\/p>\n

Dr. Joseph Stetar began his career at \u897f\u987f\u970d\u5c14\u5927\u5b66 (Seton Hall University) in 1984 as Associate Provost for Academic Affairs and Associate Professor of Education. \u201cAfter receiving [my] PhD from SUNY Buffalo, where I was fortunate to have Professor Finkelstein as a classmate, [I] held several administrative positions at SUNY College Buffalo\u2026 the last\u2026before coming to SHU was Dean of Graduate Studies and Research.\u201d Dr. Stetar pursued his desire to teach, as he wanted to look at its progression and track data. His other research interests include \u56fd\u9645 (international) and comparative education policy, history of higher education, the status of faith-based higher
\neducation globally, and higher education organizational governance. Of special note, Dr. Stetar was the first American awarded the Educationis Doctorate, honoris causa from the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein, South Africa. Oprah Winfrey was the second American to receive the same honorary doctorate!<\/p>\n

For around 20 years, Dr. Stetar lived on his 200-year-old farm in Hunterdon County, Clinton, \u65b0\u6cfd\u897f\u5dde (New Jersey) where he kept horses, cows, goats, and chickens, as well as trained dogs. Having grown up working on farms in Pennsylvania, Dr. Stetar enjoyed this experience. \u201cI had chicken eggs, but did not eat or name any of the animals.\u201d About five years ago he moved, residing pet-free in \u7ebd\u7ea6\u5e02 (New York City).<\/p>\n

Dr. Stetar notes his most rewarding experience at SHU continues to be seeing the happy faces of \u5b66\u751f (students) when they graduate. If you are studying to become a \u6559\u6388 (professor) in \u9ad8\u7b49\u6559\u80b2 (higher education), Dr. Stetar recommends to \u201cmodel yourselves after the newer professors in the program: Professors Chen, Kelchen, and Kim. They are excellent role models, having moved from being a graduate student immediately to obtaining faculty positions.\u201d Graduates would benefit from \u5173\u7cfb (networking) with fellow students in the program, as Dr. Stetar reflects, \u201cwe have an extensive \u6821\u53cb (alumni) base which can prove helpful as your career develops.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Stetar\u2019s education, Academic honors, \u5956\u5b66\u91d1 (scholarship) and \u8865\u52a9 (grants) are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
