The Rector was the Founder of ULIM, the first private university in Moldova. This is the university where I was placed during my Fulbright in Fall 2010 - and with which I have cooperated on may programs and activities since, including a joint study abroad course with my ULIM colleague Larisa Patlis.
Rector Galben was a true visionary-- under his leadership he and colleagues at ULIM were able to achieve extraordinary things. I especially admired his passion for international cooperation.
From our first official meeting, which happened to be on my birthday - and his! - when he officially welcomed me (and presented me with a bottle of my (now favorite) Transnistrian cognac -- to all of the meetings since -- Rector Galben earned my highest respect and admiration. Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you and colleague at ULIM. What a legacy!
