Ivy China Exchange
In May-June 2008, two dozen student government leaders and student journalists traveled to Beijing, Wuhan, and Shanghai for the first ever Ivy League student delegation through mainland China. The American students held a dialogue with their Chinese peers on international student relations at Peking University, and met with Chinese leaders. Currently, the Ivy-China program is in its second year, and has brought a delegation of 8 Chinese students from the top universities in China, who visited the Ivy League Universities and continued with the goal of international cultural exchange.

I have as healthy flesh and blood as any rhymer’s had,
But O! my Heart could bear no more when the upland caught the wind;
I ran, I ran, from my love’s side because my Heart went mad.”
