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 Fall Internship Fair@NYU Shanghai, 08/29/2014Aug 29 2014 Fire Drill, 08/27/2014Aug 27 2014 SH'MASH Performance, 08/21/2014Aug 27 2014 Cabaret, 08/17/2014Aug 19 2014 Class of 2018 Convocation, 08/17/2014Aug 17 2014 Class of 2018 Move In Day, 08/16/2014Aug 16 2014 First Day of the New Cafeteria OpenAug 15 2014 Countdown to Freshman Move In DayAug 14 2014 A new campus is readyAug 11 2014 Global Academic Fellow Training Session Aug 7 2014 NYU Shanghai Students Attend NYU Summer CourseJul 15 2014 End of Year Reception Party, May 19, 2014May 20 2014 Men's Basketball Team Wins Home Game, April 16, 2014Apr 16 2014 Candlelight Vigil for MH370, March 26, 2014Mar 26 2014 Networking Night, March 21, 2014Mar 21 2014 Pagination « First First page ‹ Previous Previous page … 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Next › Next page Last » Last page
