The theme of this year's program is "Authenticity and Modernization". As part of the program, a group of eight New Asia students visited Yale University from 21 January to 6 February 2017 and presented theme-related reports at a symposium at Yale. Yale teachers and students paid a reciprocal visit to our College from 12 to 25 March 2017, which included a two-day trip to Shanghai.
During the Yale group's stay in Hong Kong, talks, visits to NGOs and museums and meetings with Legco Councilors and renowned local scholars were arranged. A highlight was a symposium held on Wednesday, 15 March 2017 in the Yun Chi Hsien, at which, Yale students presented reports on the theme-related issues in the USA. The symposium was very well received by staff, students and alumni of the College.
