The Penn community is invited to celebrate the opening of the Penn Wharton China Center (PWCC) in Beijing—the next natural step in the University’s longstanding engagement with China and East Asia.

The grand opening of the PWCC will occur over a period of six months, with events taking place from March 2015 through September 2015. Events will include the March Launch, a series of academic symposia at PWCC featuring Penn faculty experts and partners; “The First 100 Days,” a showcase of the depth and breadth of Penn’s  programming in China; and a Center Dedication and Gala Celebration on Sept. 10, hosted by President Amy Gutmann to highlight Penn’s engagement in China as a defining element of the Penn Compact 2020.

Located in the Central Business District of Beijing (pictured), the Center will serve as a bridge between Penn and China, facilitating bilateral collaboration and advancing the University’s commitment to inclusion, innovation, and impact at the local, national, and global levels.
