Antonius Tsai is an educational innovator, reinventing higher education to bring greater balance between the "why" and the "how". He has worked with students and faculty to promote a greater sense of meaning and purpose within their experience of education. In his leadership role, he has helped generate interest in greater student leadership and empowerment. He graduated with a degree in business from the Wharton School of Business. After college, he served as an officer in the U.S. Army in the 3rd Infantry Division. He earned an MBA from Columbia Business School and went on to work in corporate finance, though he preferred his side role as a recruiter. In 2005, he left his corporate role to head up the Career Center at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. Advising students on life choices and careers was much more meaningful, but he wanted to teach. Joining the faculty of University of Michigan Medical School, he began teaching leadership to post-resident fellows and junior faculty, and helped lead the development of a masters program in medical education and the transformation of a medical school curriculum towards student leadership. He continues to work in medical education, transforming educational programs towards great physician leadership. He knows that to become a leader, we need to look inside because the answers are there. When he interacts with students and faculty, he tries to prompt them to reflect and find their own answers.
