Ken McCluskey

Ken McCluskey, Dean and Professor of Education at U澳门王中王论坛, is known internationally for his work in the fields of mentoring, gifted education and at-risk children and youth. Before becoming a Professor in 1998, McCluskey spent 25 years as a psychologist, special educator, and administrator in the public school system.

Those who know McCluskey describe his leadership style as unconventional, creative, and innovative, inspiring deep loyalty. He has tirelessly strengthened U澳门王中王论坛's Faculty of Education internally and around the world. Under McCluskey's leadership U澳门王中王论坛 has become a leader in mentoring and community outreach, with programs such as Lost Prizes now piloted internationally. The faculty developed the Community-based Aboriginal Teacher Education program, a Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Education, and headquartered the World Council for Gifted and Talented Children on our campus. Perhaps most telling is the response from students. In one decade the Faculty of Education has tripled from 600 to 1,805 students today.
