My
name is John Miller, and I am freshman at Stanford University. I am
involved with an organization at Stanford called FACES (Forum for
American/Chinese Exchange at Stanford).
FACES is a faculty-advised, student-run conference under the aegis of
the Center for East Asian Studies at Stanford. We are committed to
promoting knowledge and discussion of many issues in Sino-American
relations, both within Stanford and between university
students in the United States and greater China.
Each year, we organize a two-part conference program on US-China relations, referred to as
On Common Ground. The first part of the two-week long
conferences takes place in November at Stanford, and the second is in
April at one of our chapter universities in China. We’ve invited some
of the most prestigious scholars to come address these
student delegates on many different aspects of Sino-American relations.
Our past speakers include George Bush Sr., Condoleezza Rice, John
Major, William Perry, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Thomas Friedman, Richard
Levin, John Huntsman and the list goes on.
In order to make our application as need-blind as possible, part of
airfare to the conferences is subsidized, and FACES covers all food and
hotel costs for the conferences. Additional coverage is available based
on needs.
Our
application for the 2013 conferences has just gone live, and so I am
writing to you with the hope that you can pass on our information to any
interested students or other
faculty contacts in relevant departments. Information about the
conference is attached in this email. We would greatly appreciate it if
you could forward it to anyone you think might benefit from this
opportunity.
We
are looking for undergraduate and graduate students who are leaders in
their fields of interest. The FACES mission is to instill an
appreciation for the importance of
U.S. - China relations in tomorrow’s leaders in all fields, regardless
of former extracurricular or language experience, and to provide a forum
where these future leaders of the two countries can form lasting
friendships through debate and discussion of salient
issues.
If you would like more information about our program, please feel free to email me, or visit
faces.stanford.edu.
Thank you for your time,
John Miller
