Cooperation Across Continents
Yale students collaborate with Chinese students from Lingnan (University) College at Sun Yat-sen University on projects based on the year’s theme. Teams can approach their projects from many angles including creating a prototype, building a business plan, or supporting an existing enterprise. Teams consist of two Yale students, three Lingnan students, and one Yale mentor. This unique setup enables teammates to work in new ways, learn a different perspective, and experience new friends.
Friends for Life
The core of Yale-China Exchange Programs is bringing people of different backgrounds together with the intent of creating meaningful relationships. By engaging in personal and academic discussions, L(U)CY participants experience new perspectives, lifestyles, and people. They see the similarities and differences between themselves and their counterparts around the world. By talking and listening, participants bridge the cultural gap showing that there is far more that brings people together than keeps them apart.
Learning by Doing
Students travel during the first week of spring break to Guangzhou. This curated trip includes on-site visits, networking opportunities, and cultural activities.
Travel is subject to public health conditions and Yale University guidelines.
