Thirteen UHV business students participated in the two-week program from July 12 to 28, and they visited various cultural sites, including the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Royal Garden and the Summer Palace. Students also listened to business presentations by UHV and Chinese faculty members, and business experts. The trip was organized by Jifu Wang, right, UHV management professor, and was funded by a contribution from Chinese businessman and longtime UHV supporter Bingxin Wu.
