As director of CIBER at The George Washington University, Dr. Teegen focused on brokering relationships and forging links--with the greater university, with students, with alumni, and with other "outside constituents" such as the government and the private sector.

Dr. Teegen is outgoing department editor (Institutions and Comparative Capitalism) for the Journal of International Business Studies, the premier academic journal in the field.
