Join us for a discussion with Schwarzman Scholars, past and present, as they share their experiences with the program and describe how it shaped their professional trajectories. The panelists, who are all members of the National Association for Black Engagement with Asia (NABEA), represent various sectors and will provide attendees an understanding of how becoming a Schwarzman Scholar can help them incorporate Asia into their own careers no matter their area of interest. The panel discussion will conclude with open questions from attendees and information on how to apply to Schwarzman Scholars.

Schwarzman Scholars is a program for the next generation of young leaders, anchored in a fully-funded 10-month master’s degree in Global Affairs at Beijing’s Tsinghua University. The experience encompasses unparalleled opportunities in and outside the classroom, including extensive leadership training, a network of senior mentors, optional internships, career development, and travel seminars around China. Schwarzman Scholars prepares young leaders for a world where China plays a vital role. Scholars learn from world-class faculty and guest speakers about the emergence of China as an economic and political force through a rigorous and dynamic core curriculum.

NABEA connects Black Asia specialists in both the public and private sectors and seeks to increase the representation of Black Americans engaging with Asia. Through its programming, it works towards building a mutually beneficial economic, political, social, and cultural relationship between Black America and Asia.
