Steffey said, “The INSEEC Group and International University of Monaco (IUM) are known for their academic excellence and attract students from around the world. We must continue to foster INSEEC and the quality education programs that have distinguished them in Europe. I look forward to working with and supporting Catherine and her efforts to continue delivering high academic programs throughout Western Europe.”
