SCPKU Summer Seminar Program

This opportunity is open to faculty from all Stanford schools that are Stanford Academic Council members, Medical Center Line Faculty, and Active Emeriti. Faculty members can design a course on a topic of their choice and select up to eight Stanford students to participate. Additionally, SCPKU can assist in inviting a small number of relevant Peking University students if desired. Courses may also include field trips to locations in China that align with the seminar’s theme.
