From May to August in 2018, the Beijing Center launched one of its signature programs, 2018 Columbia Beijing Summer.
Deans and professors from the Schools of Columbia were invited to lead 42 thematic events in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong, that featured areas of literature, education, arts and culture, big data, artificial intelligence, medical science, energy, earth science, business, social work, and urban design. This year’s Beijing Summer also included one of the largest new student welcoming among the Global Centers Network with more than 700 newly admitted students and parents participating. Students are from CC, BC, SEAS, JRN, GSAS, SOA, TC, CBS, SIPA, SSW, and SPS.
