June 29, 2017

 

Top speakers. Remarkable peers. A storied global network of leaders and change-makers.


Create difference by engaging difference.

 

How will you make your mark on the world? Often, it begins with a conversation. It starts with a raised glass. It's sparked by a perspective-changing speaker, a forum of extraordinary peers, or even a game of ping-pong with a partner from across the Pacific.

Every year, out of hundreds of applicants from across the globe, the Forum for American-Chinese Exchange at Stanford (FACES) carefully selects forty promising delegates to attend our Annual Summit at Stanford University & in China. At the Summit, delegates learn from leading thinkers, collaborate on innovative projects, participate in sophisticated foreign policy simulations, and immerse in cross-cultural dialogue with a remarkable group of fellow students. 

Recognized by the President of Yale, U.S. Ambassador to China, & the Chinese Foreign Minister for its extraordinary ability to develop the leaders of tomorrow, this year, the FACES Summit starts with you. Applications are open for our 2017-18 Annual Summit at Stanford & Peking Universities. There are no application fees, & financial aid is available on a competitive basis to help delegates attend.
