The Wanxiang Corporation and UChicago Career Advancement are partnering to offer a summer program that will send UChicago students to China for a pre-professional educational experience focused on exposing students to Chinese culture and language. The program is supplemented with sessions geared towards introducing students to the basics of green technology and the scope of the Wanxiang Corporation's clean technology initiatives in China. The Wanxiang Ambassador Fellows program is ideal for students looking to expand their knowledge of Chinese culture and interact with peer students. 

Participating students will travel as a group to Hangzhou, China. Housed at Wanxiang Polytechnic University, they will participate in a 6-week program that consists of 3 weeks of classroom-based Chinese language and culture study, as well as seminars focusing on the basics of clean energy. In addition to classes, students will also participate in field trips around China geared towards advancing their understanding of Chinese culture. During the last two weeks of the program students will take part in a shadowing program held at the Wanxiang Electric Vehicle Co, Ltd. and a green energy trek to expand their understanding of the energy industry within China. 

Applications are open now! Interested students can apply on UChicago Handshake here. Applications will be accepted in two rounds, with deadlines of October 24 and November 14, and reviewed on a rolling basis. Apply early to secure your spot in this immersive experience.
