On behalf of the Board of Directors, management, and faculty, I welcome you to CalUniversity. We are excited to be a part of your education and your success, both at CalUniversity and beyond.

From our first year on, CalUniversity's educational philosophy has been Education for Everyone™. We make use of innovative technology and new learning methods to make our courses available to anyone, anytime. Education for Everyone™ also includes caring about the cost of education and making coursework affordable for all students who want to achieve their dreams. To make this philosophy a reality, CalUniversity has offered over $1.5 million worth of scholarship grants to our students. My own career has been driven by the philosophy of Vision-Brilliance-Success™. I have written about my experience with this system in a handbook for entrepreneurs called Vision-Brilliance-Success™. Like all students at our university, you'll receive a copy of this book to guide you during your future career, and to help you turn your career dreams into a reality.

We understand that your education is an important investment—an investment of time, money, and energy from which you expect results. That's why CalUniversity C.A.R.E.S. (Care, Affordable, Rapid, Excellence, and Support) for our students, offering them individualized attention in a supportive, challenging academic environment. We respect that you are making an investment in your future, and we promise to meet your needs as a student.

Unlike other universities, CalUniversity doesn't create passive learners. Instead, we value academic freedom, self-motivation, and diversity of thought. This means we honor your experience and your ideas, encouraging you to become a lifelong learner and a confident leader. We accomplish this through our ADVISE™ learning system, which focuses on interactive coursework that teaches students how to implement their own innovative ideas in the exciting, fast-paced business world of today. We guarantee Knowledge TRA™ (Transfer, Retention, and Application), so our students leave with the skills and abilities needed to achieve success.

One of the main ways we've led our students to success is by understanding the reality of today's business world. Modern economy is dependent on small and medium business (SMBs). For these businesses to thrive, they need to be led by emerging entrepreneurs and new corporate executives. Our programs are designed to graduate students ready to take on leadership roles in the new global economy. We built our university on the principles of Entrepreneurial Democracy™, and model ourselves as a university for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs, and of entrepreneurs. Our students are prepared for these exciting careers through continual exposure to professional organizations and experienced business leaders. This puts our students in contact with executives, entrepreneurs, and investors who are interested in nurturing new businesses and new business relations. That's why our students quickly find themselves as leaders, rather than followers, in their chosen industries.

Success means more than achieving your immediate goals. Success is a lifelong endeavor of setting, achieving, and superseding new and higher goals. I congratulate you on taking the first step in reaching lifelong success by choosing CalUniversity. Please take the time to explore all the educational and career opportunities we have to offer. We're thrilled to help you attain your vision, discover your brilliance, and achieve success in your personal, academic, and professional lives.

To your future,

Dr. Shaan Kumar
Co-Chairman and CEO
