I am Dr. Yeo Siew Yam, from Singapore. For over three decades, I've worked in research and development, in management. I led organization and capability development initiatives at a university research lab, and served on both church and non-profit company boards. When I decided to pursue further education, I was searching for something rare - a program that would integrate my faith with my professional calling. That's when I discovered Bakke Graduate University's DTL and MBA program.

The BGU academic program wrestles with real questions: How does our faith inform leadership? How do we steward resources and people with Kingdom values? How do we navigate ethical dilemmas in complex organizational contexts? For someone managing research and development while serving on governance boards, this integration was transformational.

BGU's design balances in-person intensives with online engagement, offering flexibility without sacrificing depth. My cohort included non-profit leaders, business executives, pastors, and social entrepreneurs from multiple continents - these became my trusted advisors and collaborators.

Every course includes practical projects. I wasn't just studying organizational development theory - I was applying it to real challenges. I found that the faculty were deeply committed and supportive, and the digital library resources were robust.

I'm glad BGU is launching a Mandarin EMBA, making this unique program available to Mandarin speakers. BGU truly understands working professionals who want to integrate faith, scholarship, and practice.

我与柏祺研究生大学的旅程，是一段信仰、呼召与专业成长深刻交织的历程。在多年的领导与服务中，我一直在寻找一个能够整全看待生命与使命的学习平台, 而柏祺正是这样的地方。

这里不只是在传授知识，更是在塑造一种带着信念与智慧去影响世界的领导者。课程扎根现实挑战，教师团队全心投入，来自全球的同学网络成为彼此支持的同行者。无论是探讨资源管理中的伦理实践，还是在组织困境中寻求突破，祺研提供的不仅是理论框架，更是可践行的智慧。
