WMU’s Lansing Director to Join Cooley Law School
Gus H. Breymann, director of Western Michigan University’s Lansing campus since 1981, will retire from that position in January and join Cooley Law School as the Director of International and Extended Studies. For the last 22 years, Breymann was responsible for the planning, administration, and evaluation of all academic programs offered by WMU in Lansing. The regional campus offers 10 undergraduate and graduate curricula in their entirety at its Lansing site. Breymann was also responsible for developing graduate and undergraduate seminars, workshops and other programs for governmental units, business, industry and the general public. He also taught in the University’s Master of Public Administration (MPA) program locally. As WMU’s academic advisor for all Lansing students in the MPA program, Breymann has previously worked with Cooley. WMU and Cooley together offer a duel MPA/JD degree. In addition, Cooley offers J.D. classes in Grand Rapids, in the WMU Graduate Center until Cooley’s Grand Rapids building is completed. Breymann has been involved with a number of community organizations, including the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Capital Area Chapter of the American Society for Public Administration (ASAP), He is a longtime member of the national ASPA organization and was recognized for 25 years of service to the organization in 2002. Breymann was instrumental in starting a Lansing student chapter of the American College of Health Care Executives and the Michigan Capital Area Chapter of the Project Management Institute. He is a member of the Michigan Association for Adult and Continuing Education and the Capital Area Higher Education Network. Prior to relocating in the Lansing area in 1981, Breymann held management positions in city government and nonprofit agencies in Grand Rapids. Ann Miller, Associate Dean of Programs, Planning and Assessment at Cooley, voiced Cooley’s enthusiasm over the news of Breymann’s arrival. “Mr. Breymann provides an extraordinary role model for public service to our entire academic community,” Miller said. “He brings exceptional organizational skills and a wealth of knowledge about international extended programs, particularly in geographically diverse sites. His experiences mesh perfectly with Cooley’s mission – and he is a great guy!” Breymann’s public service work includes a stint as the Director of Budget and Management for the U.S. Peace Corps in the Republic of the Philippines, directing all financial and administrative services for the agency throughout the country. Breymann’s background also includes service as Executive Officer, Office of Medical Programs at the Peace Corps U.S. headquarters in Washington, D.C., and as Associate Peace Corps Director in Sabah (North Borneo), Malaysia. 2009 Membership Renewal Institutional Memberships |
