Considering graduate study in China Studies? This October, Yenching Academy invites prospective applicants to a series of student-led information sessions, both online and on campus at Peking University and the University of Hong Kong.

Full details and registration can be found on the Yenching Academy event page: #YenchingAcademy# #ChinaStudies# @PKUYCA

From classrooms to field trips. From strangers to lifelong friends. From Yenching to the world. Joined by faculty, alumni, families, and distinguished guests—including Yuan Ming 袁明, Honorary Dean of Yenching Academy—the graduates reflected on two years of academic discovery and cultural exchange. The ceremony featured inspiring remarks by Roger T. Ames 安乐哲, Humanities Chair Professor at Peking University, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Hawaiʻi, and Dong Qiang 董强, Dean of Yenching Academy, who encouraged students to continue building bridges across cultures and contributing to a more connected world. As graduates crossed the stage, turned their tassels, and celebrated with classmates from around the globe, they closed one chapter while opening another. Congratulations, Class of 2026. Once a PKU Yenching Student, always part of the Yenching family. PKU Graduation 2026｜@PKUYCA
