Welcoming PKU Summer Students to UCLA, August 2012


On Friday, August 31, JRI hosted a welcome lunch for eleven undergraduate students from PKU.


 The students were at UCLA for the summer participating in the Cross-disciplinary Scholars in Science and Technology (CSST) summer program.  CSST seeks to strengthen international collaboration by inviting highly accomplished students to study and engage in research at UCLA.  The PKU students' studies spanned physics to sociology.

The group was joined by UCLA student Ian McRae who had spent last summer, 2011, at PKU with the JRI Summer Research Exchange.  He took the opportunity to brush up on his Chinese, remember favorite parts of PKU's campus, and recommend things to do in Los Angeles.

Below is a list of this year's CSST participants from PKU.  We hope they enjoyed their time at UCLA and look forward to their return as grad students and researchers!
