Our Project Pengyou Chapters work hard to plan events that add value to their community and engage American and Chinese students and community members in bridge-building activities. The UC Berkeley Chapter is one of many Project Pengyou Chapters across the US that is located in an area rich with Chinese culture and China-related organizations. Because of the diversity of China resources on campus, the Berkeley Chapter has been able to create specialized opportunities for students.

One such opportunity is their fantastic semesterly Career Panel! By bringing in local professionals who have worked in the U.S.-China space to share their experiences, they help create a platform for the next generation to further their careers as bridge-builders across various industries.

At their latest career panel, they brought in four interesting speakers in the US-China field. See below:
