“It is a privilege to co-chair the South Carolina International Trade Coalition,” Mueller said in a news release from the college. “Ninety-five percent of the world’s consumers live outside the U.S. To be successful in today’s market, firms need to seek international opportunities. For over 15 years, the members of S.C. International Trade Coalition have worked hard at assisting S.C. firms, big and small, to find new overseas markets for their products and services.”

At the College of Charleston, Mueller serves as the director of the international business program and the Global Business Resource Center. The center, housed within the School of Business, supports the development of international education opportunities so students may gain the necessary international business skills needed to compete effectively in today's globalized economy, the news release said. It also serves the global trade community by hosting and supporting several training and education programs, such as the NASBITE Certified Global Business Professional training course.
