Taiwan’s National Chengchi University (NCCU) and Georgia Tech’s School of International Affairs will conduct this summer 2010 in Atlanta a program allowing NCCU students to study “U.S. Economy and Enterprise.” Under the program, eighteen NCCU students will spend three weeks in the Atlanta area from 17 July to 7 August. Students will attend lectures by Atlanta-area university faculty on various aspects of the U.S. economy, combined with visits to prominent Atlanta-area companies, governmental economic agencies (federal, state, city and county) and partisan organizations. The program will be directed by NCCU Professor of Economics, Yih-chyi Chuang. For most of the students this will be their first visit to the United States. The program reciprocates Georgia Tech programs during the summers of 2006-2009 under which groups of Tech students studied Taiwan’s economy as part of a broader East Asia political economy program. For information about the program please contact Dr. John W. Garver,[email protected].
