Dr. Veryser draws upon extensive practical experience as the Chairman of the Board of Stampings, Inc., a light manufacturing concern in Fraser, Michigan.

EICEE invited Dr. Veryser to give lectures at the Neuwaldegg Institute in Vienna. He reviewed the basic principles upon which a healthy economy functions with special emphasis on respect for private property.

In October of 2003, Mr. Veryser was one of ten professors in the United States selected to receive the Will Herberg Award for outstanding faculty service from the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.

It is very important to understand and to see moral and ethical values around us. Our teachers showed us these values and helped me to connect them with the real world. To see reality especially on an ethical level is still not a very high priority in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
