Beijing, China – The University of Pennsylvania and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania today announced the opening of the Penn Wharton China Center in Beijing, China. The establishment of the Center is an important expansion of Penn’s engagement with China, which began in 1896 when the first Chinese student enrolled at Penn.
The Center will serve as a valuable resource and vibrant gathering place enhancing learning and research opportunities to the benefit of Penn’s faculty, students, alumni and friends in China. Through its consulting programs, it will also support Chinese executives and others in acquiring the practical skills and perspective that will help them successfully lead their organizations in a global context.
Professor of Architecture Ali Rahim and Historic Preservation Chair and Director of PennPraxis Randall Mason joined Dean Taylor for the opening of the Penn Wharton China Center. They will be joined by Richard Weller, Chair of Landscape Architecture, on March 13th to launch the Penn-China Landscape Symposium, a series of biennial events to be held at the Center.
