Small Island Leadership | Thomas W. Krise, PhD | TEDxHagatna

Small island leadership stems from island wisdom, which refers to the culture and lifeways of islands like Guam and all of Micronesia developed over thousands of years. These indigenous values and practices can be appreciated and connect communities across the world. Thomas W. Krise began his service as the 11th President of the University of Guam in August 2018. He came to Guam from Tacoma, Washington, where he served as President of Pacific Lutheran University. The son and grandson of army medical service officers, he was born at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and raised in the U.S. Virgin Islands. He graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, and earned a Ph.D. in English from the University of Chicago. He served 22 years on active duty in the U.S. Air Force as a missileer and public affairs officer, retiring with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He has also been a professor and administrator at his alma mater, the Air Force Academy, as well as at the Institute for National Strategic Studies in Washington, D.C.; the University of Central Florida in Orlando; and the University of the Pacific in California. He also holds a full professorship with tenure in the Division of English and Applied Linguistics at the University of Guam.
