New Video: Sino-U.S. Relations in Focus

The Spring 2010 voyage marked the launch of the C.Y. Tung Program in Sino-U.S. Relations. The program is named in honor of C.Y Tung, who was instrumental in the founding of Semester at Sea. The inaugural program was led by distinguished faculty in residence and included rigorous courses on Chinese and American relations, history, culture, economics and diplomacy; visits from distinguished Chinese and American lecturers; excursions to educational and cultural sites in China; and scholarships for Chinese and American students.

The new program underscores Semester at Sea's commitment to global understanding and international exploration, bringing together students, scholars, and prominent figures to explore the history and cultures of China and the United States, and to consider how to ensure productive economic and diplomatic relationships between the two in the future.
