Harvard student organization to hold educational program in China

A line-up of prominent speakers has been arranged for a Harvard University-related summer program for Chinese high-school students next month.

The speakers at annual HAUSCR Summit for Young Leaders in China (HSYLC) would include New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, former head of Google’s China operations Kai-Fu Lee, and Chinese TV host Shui Junyi, said program spokesman Du Jing on Sunday.

About 7,000 high-school students had applied for the course, for which the fee is 3,600 yuan (530 U.S. dollars), but only 600 had been accepted, said Du.

The program is operated by the student-run Harvard College Association for U.S.-China Relations (HAUSCR) and will be held simultaneously in Beijing and Shanghai from August 12 to 23.

It would offer seminars, classes and extracurricular activities to promote critical thinking and foster “social entrepreneurship and citizenship,” according to the HSYLC website.
