Eric has had a long scholarly career on China and international relations (check out his latest book—The Pragmatic Dragon: China's Grand Strategy and Boundary Settlements); he served as chair of the university’s Asian Studies program for 14 years—instrumental in bringing in a Title VI National Resource Center grant; he was a fantastic teacher, supplying the Poli Sci, IR, and Asian Studies majors with classes on China and Asia, mentoring hundreds of future policymakers, diplomats, and academics; but most importantly, Eric is a deeply good human being and friend. Congratulations on a fantastic career, Eric!! (written by Professor Joel Selway)
