About the Tercentennial
In 1701, the collegiate institution that
would soon become Yale was
founded. To celebrate
the 300th anniversary of this
event, President
Levin convened a group including
faculty,
students, administrators and
Fellows of the
Corporation to develop guiding
principles
for the programs of the Tercentennial
Year.
Every school, museum and academic
center
has responded by creating special
exhibitions,
publications or symposia.

Yale-China Celebrates 100th Anniversary
Yung Wing, Yale Class of 1854, was the first
person from China to graduate from an American
college or university. After returning to
China, Yung organized the Chinese Educational
Mission, which brought over 100 Chinese boys
to New England for schooling in the 1870s
and 1880s. |
 Through the Yale-China Association, Yale
students spend two years
following their
graduation from the University
teaching in
China. |
 This year, the Yale-China Association celebrates
a century of promoting understanding between
the peoples of China and the United States.
The association promotes one-on-one contacts
between American and Chinese people through
cultural and educational exchanges, thereby
enriching the lives of participants and contributing
to more peaceful relations between the two
nations.
For the first half-century, Yale-China’s
work was concentrated in Changsha and Wuhan,
where the organization helped to found Hsiang-Ya
Hospital, Medical College, and School of
Nursing, the Yali Middle School, and Huachung
University. Collaboration with New Asia College,
now a part of the Chinese University of Hong
Kong, began in 1953, and programs at mainland
institutions were resumed in 1980 after a
30-year hiatus.
Since that time, nearly 300 young Yale graduates
have traveled to China to teach, interacting
with over 63,000 Chinese students. In addition,
Yale-China has sponsored over 70 faculty
members from Yale and various institutions
on academic exchange visits, and over 130
scholars from East Asia have attended the
Yale-China American Studies Summer Institute
in the United States and East Asia.
Yale-China’s many programs are organized
through its main office on the Yale campus
in New Haven, Connecticut, and a field office
on the campus of the Chinese University of
Hong Kong. The organization’s five main
programs are:
English Teaching Program
For over 90 years, Yale students have spent
two years in Chinese classrooms introducing
American culture and native English language
instruction to Chinese students of all ages,
from elementary school through professional
graduate schools. These Yale-China Teaching
Fellows – known as ELIs (English Language
Instructors) – currently serve at five institutions
in China: The Chinese University of Hong
Kong (CUHK); Yali Middle School, Changsha;
Zhongshan University, Guangzhou; Huizhen
Academy, Ningbo; and Xiaoshi Middle School,
Ningbo.
Teacher Exchanges
The Teaching Program in Ningbo includes two
separate two-way exchanges of teachers between
schools in New Haven and Ningbo – the Foote
School and Huizhen Academy, and Hopkins School
and Xiaoshi Middle School.
American Studies Summer Institute
In response to the tremendous interest in
American Studies throughout East Asia, Yale-China
initiated its Summer Institute in American
Studies for East Asian Scholars in 1995.
The program brings together roughly 20 young
East Asian scholars of American literature,
history, politics and economics for month-long,
intensive seminars conducted by Yale faculty.
Legal Education Fellowship Program
 The Yale-China Legal Education Fellowship
Program, founded in 2000-01, places American
legal professionals in teaching positions
at law schools and university law departments
in the People韘 Republic of China. The fellows
teach courses on American law and the American
legal profession and work with Chinese students
and faculty to integrate clinical practice
and support the development of clinical education
in the law school curriculum. For more information,
see http://www.yalechina.org/.
Health Program
At present, Yale-China’s ongoing health-related
activities include the Chia Family Public
Health Fellowships; the Blood-Borne Pathogen
Project (a training program to reduce transmission
of blood-borne diseases within hospitals);
and research on the effects of mild iodine
deficiency.
