U.S. - China Educational Exchanges: 
40 Years of Engagement in Higher Education 

It has been 40 years since the United States and China began cooperating through higher education exchanges. What has been the impact? What are the obstacles to building cross-cultural understanding and equipping the next generation to address the challenges of the 21st century? 

Leaders in international education and American higher education examine the status and future directions of educational exchanges between the U.S. and China within the context of the present bilateral relationship and dynamics of global education.

This event is on the record and open to the public and press.
