Penn Wharton China Center opens in Beijing
From Philadelphia to San Francisco, Penn has expanded its influence across the U.S. — now the University’s name has crossed the Pacific Ocean and taken on China, with the Penn Wharton China Center officially opening in Beijing.
The launch celebration featured various panels, research talks and round table discussions.
The grand opening event marks the beginning of a six-month-long opening that will conclude in September 2015 with a Gala and Forum held at the Center.
Outcomes:
With the Center now operational, its goal is to become a hub in China for Penn students, faculty, staff and alumni. The Center will maintain contact with different institutions across China, host alumni events, aid Penn with its Chinese branding efforts and provide a facility for faculty and students to do research.
The new Penn China Research and Engagement Fund will also provide $10 million over five years to faculty and senior administrators to develop and strengthen relations with Chinese partners, support faculty exchange programs and faculty research projects.
