Leadership Fellows Francis Wilson and Hiram Hernandez were recently selected as two of fifteen student delegates to attend the Strait Talk Symposium at UC Berkeley, where they will discuss cross straits issues between Taiwan, China and the US.
With each summit, we are learning with the Fellows how we as a community can be better, more focused, and hone in on what bridges really need to be built between the US and China. After the first two cohorts of Project Pengyou Leadership Fellows returned home, they laid the groundwork for campus chapters across the nation. Through their hard work, we have glimpsed what this network is capable of achieving together.
We are proud to announce our new class of Fall 2015 Project Pengyou Leadership Fellows!
