It’s an honour that took him by surprise, but one which he is both “very excited by and very privileged”.
The distinguished professorship was bestowed on Foster-Pedley, a former aerobatic pilot and airline captain in recognition of the contribution he has made to developing and providing business education in Britain, South Africa, Namibia, France and New Zealand, said Woxsen university’s Head of International Relations and Strategic Development, Mr. Chahat Mishra.
“The distinguished professorship is one of the highest honours awarded in the academic domain at Woxsen, reserved for faculty who had demonstrated a sustained high level of scholarly achievement in their respective field of study,” he says.
