The IMUSE 2012 Beijing-Hong Kong Summer Fellowship Program will bring twenty to thirty outstanding students from Chinese, American, and European colleges and graduate schools
together in late August to share their opinions, experience Chinese culture, and learn from one another.
During the fellowship, Chinese and American delegates will participate alongside one another in a variety of activities designed to be both academically and personally
enriching. Delegates will participate in panel discussion events with a student audience, where they will discuss the pertinent issues facing
Chinese-American relations today.
They will interact with and learn from distinguished guest speakers, which in past IMUSE events have included
distinguished academics and celebrities from both America and China. As IMUSE is strongly committed to improving the quality of life for
individuals in both countries, the fellowship will include a short period of public service within an underprivileged community. Other activities
and workshops will cover a variety of topics from politics to pop culture to food. All events will be carried out in English, and no knowledge
of Chinese is necessary.
In an effort to help students become familiar with Beijing and all that it has to offer, IMUSE will facilitate tours to sites of cultural
interest as well as major businesses and government offices within the city. In addition, two days of the fellowship will be spent visiting
a village outside Beijing, granting delegates a rare opportunity to glimpse the rural China so often overlooked by Western visitors.
In order to help document their experiences, delegates will be asked to keep a blog that will be uploaded onto the IMUSE website.
Students will have all necessary living expenses paid for, including accommodations, food, and ground
transportation.
IMUSE hopes that this dynamic, multidisciplinary, and challenging experience will expose both American and Chinese delegates to a better
understanding of each other, and foster friendships and relationships that last long after the conference has ended.
