Scholar Orientation Programs, and Its Successors

Between 1980 and 2003, we held Scholar Orientation Programs — two-week introductions to American society and culture for top Chinese students in the U.S. That program inspired our much bigger annual Foreign Policy Colloquium, which brings 150 U.S.-based Chinese grad students to Washington, D.C. for a three-day meeting on American foreign policy, and our Diplomat Orientation Program for mid-career officials.
