Following the tour, the ambassador met with a roundtable of students recommended by faculty. “China is still a mystery to many people in the US,” Branstad said. “Programs like [NYU Shanghai], where students get to integrate and get to know each other are really good” for improving relations between our two countries. Branstad also encouraged more Americans to come to China: “This is an exciting, dynamic, and changing place,” he said, noting that his own daughter had decided to come teach and live in China with her young family for a while. “You have to have a sense of adventure, but wow - what an opportunity!” Share: Facebook Twitter Weibo All Years202420232022202120202019201820172016201520142013 Apply Jenny Yao Teaches Legendary DanceApr 30 2015 Changing OctavesApr 30 2015 'Tempests' ProductionApr 27 2015 Visit to Shanghai Natural History MuseumApr 27 2015 2015 Orientation Ambassadors Leadership TrainingApr 26 2015 Spring Formal: Ignite the NightApr 26 2015 Graduate School Panel & MixerApr 25 2015 Syaman Rapongan Shares 'Dream Ocean'Apr 23 2015 James Fallows, Clay Shirky & Kaiser Kuo Talk Social MediaApr 22 2015 VLV Ice Cream SocialApr 21 2015 Volleyball and Basketball vs. Duke KunshanApr 19 2015 NYU Shanghai vs. NYU Abu Dhabi: Game OffApr 17 2015 Ally Week Micro-Aggression ForumApr 15 2015 Promoting Peace Through Sport: A Discussion with Mac MillarApr 14 2015 Ally Week CommUNITY PicnicApr 14 2015 Pagination « First First page ‹ Previous Previous page … 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 … Next › Next page Last » Last page
