There are now roughly 330,000 Chinese students studying at American universities — a more than five-fold increase in just 10 years. The sheer size and rapid growth of this cohort are having seismic effects on American campuses, as well as raising questions about how years of immersion in American society are influencing a generation of young Chinese.

Join us for a discussion about what is driving the influx of Chinese students and what it means for American higher education, Chinese and American students alike, and the prospect for a smoother U.S.-China relationship.

We invite Peggy Blumenthal, Isabelle (Muge) Niu, Siqi Tu, and Isaac Stone Fish to discuss.
