welcome for guests and speakers.
“Chinese Higher Education” is designed to give education leaders a look at the development of world-class universities in China, international partnerships focused on teaching and research, the regulatory environment in Chinese higher education and entrepreneurial opportunities.
“Chinese universities have been growing in number and size at a rapid pace for about 15 years, and this will provide American higher education leaders a chance to catch up on those changes – and the implications for their own institutions,” said Mark Robison, director of the Higher Education Leadership Institute and associate professor at the USC Rossier School.
Michael Diamond, professor of education and business and executive director of the recently launched Asia Pacific Rim International Study Experience, will moderate a panel of Chinese graduate students studying in the United States.
The students will discuss ways that universities can improve international programs and best meet the needs of Chinese students at American institutions.
Registration is $250 per person and $200 per person for additional individuals attending from the same institution. To register for the event, visit http://www.regonline.com/ChineseHigherEducation
