As a recipient of a National Security Education Program Fellowship, I was able to study Chinese language in Beijing and pursue research on lesser-known minority groups in China. To live in China or any developing country, one must be open-minded to a new culture and customs. As the approach to social, economic, and political issues becomes global, it is important for people of color to explore and to experience developing countries in order to further expand their horizons. The campus with traditional and modern buildings, gardens, and a large lake- provides a beautiful setting. More than 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students are enrolled.
