The relationships established by professionals and students during the time they spend at the Center continue over the years promoting stability and cooperation in the region. We now have several different types of East-West Center students our traditional degree students, Asian Development Bank Scholarship students, South Pacific Island Students, and our Student Affiliate Program which allows full time graduate students at the University of Hawaii who are not on EWC grants to have the opportunity to participate in EWC programs and live in Hale Manoa. We are in the process of establishing a scholarship program for students from East Timor. The East-West Center now has an integrated research program that conducts multidisciplinary research on issues of contemporary significance to Asia, the Pacific and the United States. We are no longer divided into separate clusters, institutes or programs.
Researchers now work collaboratively within a single research program.
The East-West Seminars include the Jefferson Fellowship Program for journalists, New Generation Seminars and Senior Seminars.
