Delegations help our members build relationships not only with their student peers around the globe but also some of the most prominent organizations and companies in the world.
GCC organizes two types of delegations: from China to the U.S., and from the U.S. to China. Delegations from China to the U.S. enable Chinese students to experience student life in the U.S., and offer an opportunity for Western students to meet their peers from China. Delegations in the other direction help cement our ties with critical partners in the private sector and the non-profit community. Participation in delegations is competitive.
May-August 2010
During the summer of 2010, GCC members were fortunate to visit the offices of major corporations in four Chinese cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Shenzhen. Interacting with the executives of both domestic and international firms, we learned a great deal about a wide range of industries and cemented our solid relationships with these private-sector partners.
