Our activities include research projects, business leadership conferences, international conferences, colloquia, policy briefings, and newsletter, policy papers and book publications. Over the past several years, BASC has trained dozens exceptional undergraduate students as research assistants for the center, offering them an opportunity to develop their research skills while learning more about economic and business developments in the Asia-Pacific. Students learn to formulate a research question, conduct primary and secondary research, develop analytical skills, and write research papers in the process. The skills and recommendation letters from BASC have helped these students to move on to top-tier law schools, graduate schools, and private firms. We favor students with a strong interest in the global economy and empirical analytical skills, deriving from their majors in political science, economics, business, etc.
Editorial experience is also a plus.
