The objective of the campaign is to share the stories of HKS
community around the world on different and unique ways of helping
others in improving their lives. It is a novel and an innovative program
in which various HKS alumni share their professional stories in
development work varying from US government jobs to development projects
in Africa.
HKS is known in the world not just because it's prestige as a high
quality academic institution but also it's active engagement in making
the world a better place to live. Adding Sri Lanka into the map of YOU
ARE HERE, story of Chaminda Hettiarachchi, a Sri Lankan alumnus of HKS
is included in the campaign. Chaminda is a Sri Lanka academic
specialised in management and business studies and his work on teaching
to MBA programs at government Universities and contribution in educating
young professionals in the country have been recognised by YOU ARE HERE
campaign.
Chaminda commented on this unique achievement, "I am really honoured
to have my story featured in YOU ARE HERE campaign of HKS. I have been
teaching management for 10 years in Sri Lanka and currently teaching as
a visiting lecturer to MBA Programs at University of Colombo, University
of Moratuwa and Kothelawala Defence University. For many years, I have
been using latest interactive teaching methodologies adapted from
Harvard to Sri Lankan MBA programs and student and academic communities
accepted them with high enthusiasm.
These methodologies include case methods of teaching, online
simulation games and other web-based learning tools.
In 2012, I had the opportunity to get my executive education at HKS
by participating at US- South Asia Leader Engagement program on the
invitation of National Defense University (NDU) of Washington D.C and by
the sponsorship of Department of Defense of U.S. government.
