Dr. Gary Low is Professor Emeritus of Education, Texas A&M University-Kingsville, Consulting Psychologist, Patron and Life Member of the Forum for EI Learning (FEIL) in India, and Principal, EI Learning Systems, Inc. He is Founder and faculty member, Emotional Intelligence Training & Research Institute (EITRI) and has served as professor, department chair, director of major programs, and dean at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. He has developed and taught EI courses for first-generation college students, graduate, and doctoral students, and provided workshops and seminars on the development of affective skills for over forty years. Gary's research interests are the study of emotional intelligence (EI) and its importance for student success, personal and professional development, applied leadership, teaching excellence, and organizational effectiveness. Areas of EI studies include college success, new and first-generation students, social/emotional learning, affective education, transformational leadership, personal/emotional skills mapping, personal responsibility, performance psychology, personal excellence, life transitions, and the process of change. For over forty years, major professional goals have been to positively impact achievement, productivity, and personal health of students and adults, educators, employees, managers, and leaders through learning, developing, and applying EI skills and competencies. Focused research resulted in the creation and development of a family of research-derived assessments and emotional learning systems used in schools, colleges, universities, and within organizations on local, regional, national, and international levels. His EI-centric assessments have been used in many cultural contexts and translated into several languages.
