Alaskan Student Ambassadors Go to China

[...]the intrepid travelers were prepared beforehand with an overview of China's economy and business environment and training in everything from Chinese culture, customs, and social relations to practical questions like visas, cellphone service, and how to handle money. In the last year alone seven College of Business and Public Policy faculty visited China for professional academic and institutional relationship building purposes, with much of this travel funded privately or by the Chinese universities who designated several of our faculty "foreign experts," making them eligible for funding through nationally competitive official Chinese government grants.
