Visiting Scholars
To foster intellectual exchanges among scholars, CCUSC established a Visiting Scholars program by inviting rising and established Chinese scholars, officials, business and professionals to stay in Denver from three months to a year. These Chinese scholars and officials have participated in current research projects and interacted with graduate students. In addition, CCUSC has enhanced its profile with the new generation of Chinese intellectuals, emerging business community and government leaders.
CCUSC hosts visiting scholars from China to come and stay for six months to two years to do research on a variety of studies. Hosting more than 25 scholars, CCUSC currently has six at the University of Denver. They come from a range of schools such as China Youth University for Political Sciences, School of International Studies Liaoning University, Sun Yat-sen University, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Hunan University.
