The University of Chicago announced Monday April 26 in Beijing that it will open a center there this fall, serving as a base for programs in business, medicine and culture for American and Chinese students.
Robert Zimmer, the university's president, said the Center in Beijing represents the university's long-term commitment to build relationships in China, to foster research and education, and to exchange ideas. (Source: Kristen Mack, Chicago Tribune, Apr 28, 2010).
