Leaders from Schwarzman College of Tsinghua University visited Talents Development Committee for exchanges

On April 22, Professor David Qingzhong Pan, the Executive Dean of Schwarzman College, together with Yang Tingting and Liang Bing, the Deputy Directors of the Admission office of Tsinghua University, visited Talents Development Committee and introduced the Program of "Schwarzman Scholars of Tsinghua University" (hereinafter referred to as "Scholars Program" ). In addition, the two sides held discussion on talents nurturing and explored the potential cooperation opportunities.

At the beginning of the meeting, Professor Pan introduced the "Scholars program”, which is the one-year Master’s Degree program designed specially for the new generation of global leaders to improve their leadership, with the aim of nurturing the future leaders who know China. Each year, less than 200 excellent undergraduates from all over the world will be chosen to carry out the graduate study at Tsinghua University, based on their academic credentials, personal integrity and responsibility, extracurricular interests, and leadership potential. Among the first batch of 111 Schwarzman scholars to be enrolled in this autumn, there are also students also from Macao.

At the meeting, the members of the Talents Development Committee agreed with the teaching philosophy and interaction course design of the "Scholars Program", and exchanged opinions about talents nurturing with the professors from Tsinghua University. Some members mentioned that Schwarzman College could conduct the communication, cultural exchange and cooperation with the Lusophone countries via Macao SAR by virtue of its goal of establishing the "World Tourism and Leisure Center" and the Service Platform for Sino-Portuguese Countries Economy and Trade Cooperation. In addition, the Committee also welcomed the Schwarzman College to nurture the public servants of the SAR through entering into cooperation agreement with the Macao government.

Professor Pan appreciated the valuable suggestions from the members of the Committee, and expected the cooperation between Schwarzman College and the Macao SAR government could promote more Macao students to participate into the "Scholars Program" and become Schwarzman Scholars.

The members and the persons participated in the meeting are Chan Chi Fong, So Ying Suen, Yu Wing Yat, Lao Chi Ngai, Tai Wa Hou, Tai Wong Kuai Leng, Ma Chi Ngai Frederico, Yeung Tsun Man Eric, Zhang Shuguang, Ho Teng Iat, Lou Pak Sang, Tam Oi Lam and Sou Chio Fai.
