doc summers on Tiger Mountain

Our travel study group to China is growing and coming together along with the BSM leadership — and will get ready to go during the spring semester! Our itinerary (about May 5-22): Beijing - Lanzhou - Xi’an - and then back through Beijing. The middle part in Lanzhou - about a week - gives us some great cultural exchange and interdiscipilinary experiences in history, politics, music, communications, and the general culture. We’ll look forward to seeing Mu Yongqiang, Hou Binhua, and the good friends in the international office at the Lanzhou University of Technology, too, and they will be helping us with a lot of things while we are there.

Our travel study and many other experiences will help us all to understand the Chinese past, the fascinating Chinese present (and future), and the ways they connect together — or not. That’s a good thing to do considering that we are already in what many people are referring to as the “Chinese Century”.
