Director's Message
Dear Friends of the China Institute,
As the global landscape continues to evolve, the relationship between the United States and China enters a new chapter—one marked by cautious optimism, renewed dialogue, and the shared pursuit of peace and understanding. At the CSUN China Institute, we embrace this moment as an opportunity to deepen academic and cultural exchange, foster meaningful partnerships, and build bridges across borders.
Inspired by the legacy of past directors and the vibrant community of Chinese alumni, we are launching new initiatives to reconnect graduates with their alma mater. Through collaborative programs, cultural events, and international exchanges, we aim to create a dynamic platform where alumni, students, and faculty can engage in dialogue, celebrate shared heritage, and contribute to a more interconnected world.
Together, with the support of our local and global partners, we will continue to champion mutual respect, cross-cultural learning, and global collaboration—values that lie at the heart of the CSUN China Institute.
Thanks so much.
Dr. Wei Cao
Director of the China Institute, CSUN
Professor of Fashion Design and Merchandising
