The Middle East was the latest
destination for veteran traveler Victor
Childers (’55), associate professor
emeritus of international business, Indiana
University Kelley School of Business. As
president of the Indiana Council on World
Affairs, an organization that fosters public
understanding of world conditions and U.S.
foreign policy, Childers was among a
delegation of eight individuals from councils
around the United States invited to visit
Oman last April.
During his stay in the capital city of
Muscat, Childers learned about the culture
and history of Oman as well as the country’s
political and economic developments. A full
schedule included a number of outings, such
as a tour of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque;
a visit to Nizwa, a town that had served as the
capital of Oman during the mid-eighth to the
mid-12th centuries; and a stop at the Bait Al
Baranda Museum, which houses the newlyopened
branch of Opera Gallery of Dubai.
“One of the most charming events on our
schedule was a visit to the family home of the
Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs,” said Childers, who explained that the
Secretary General’s father had been a
successful trader as well as a member of a
branch of the royal family. “Although the
father is no longer living, his widow and
members of her staff continue to occupy the
palatial home which is used for social
gatherings with groups such as ours, and we
felt royally entertained,” said Childers.
The group met with a number of distinguished
leaders including the Minister for
Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Commerce
and Industry, and the Deputy Chief of
Mission of the Embassy of the United States.
One morning was spent racing to a quick
succession of meetings with the Ministry of
Higher Education, the Center for Islamic
Culture, the Ministry of Finance, the Central
Bank of Oman, and Sultan Qaboos University.
“It is humbling to realize just how much
is a martial arts instructor. Kristen and her
husband, Dan, have a son, Jacob.

Childers, who returned home with an
appreciation for the great amount he learned
from his latest trip.
