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.

“Dwell on her graciousness, dwell on her smiling,
Do not forget what flowers

Her brow was creamy as the crested wave,
Her sea-blue eyes were wild
But nothing promised that is not performed.”

—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
“But come what sorrow can,
It cannot countervail the exchange of joy
That one short minute gives me in her sight.”
