A Strong Foundation
Our engagements with China are built from strong foundations that encompass longstanding relationships and well-established initiatives at home and abroad.
- Over 350 WPI students traveling to six major cities in China, immersed in the culture and working alongside numerous Chinese academic, government and corporate partners to tackle and solve challenges facing local communities;
- A growing Chinese population of nearly 700 WPI students, and increasing educational offerings in Chinese study at home and through innovative exchange programs abroad;
- Extensive faculty research and collaborations with Chinese colleagues that address diverse issues of local and international importance;
- Interactions with the Massachusetts business community to increase our understanding of how to work with and engage Chinese markets.
New Opportunities for Engagement
The great successes our students and faculty have already achieved in China have created a momentum for intensifying our impact through increased collaborations with Chinese partners. We will continue to strategically hone our engagements with China to target urgent challenges in a more robust, multifaceted manner as we create a dynamic hub of connections that reach across physical boundaries.
