On EDT 5th April, eight SPPM visiting Ph.D. candidates in Boston area had a very happy reunion with Dean XUE Lan. This was during Dean Xue’s short visit to HKS for the Advisory Committee Meeting.
Dean Xue asked about their study and research progress during their visiting in the United Stated, and the students then shared their achievement and experiences. He discussed the potential challenges and difficulties in academic research that they might encounter and encouraged the students to cherish this opportunity, and to strive to make substantive progress in their research.
Our school has always focused on joint training with overseas universities and internationalization of graduate programs. In order to broaden students’ international horizons and get exposure to the academic frontier, we actively select Ph.D. students to exchange with world-class institutions over the past few years. Currently, there are 8 Ph.D. students from SPPM visiting Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tuft University and other institutions in Boston area.
