The KSU center, directed by Ken Jin, provides customized professional training programs for senior business executives, government officials, professionals and students from China, Taiwan, Afghanistan, Africa, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and the Ukraine. Each year, over 200 foreign professionals come to Kennesaw State University to participate in programs from a few days to one year.
