Zhengzhou University of Light Industry and Buffalo State have partnered to offer a noncredit opportunity to students through which they can spend 14 days in China. The program will take place December 27 to January 10 and will include an introduction to traditional Chinese arts such as calligraphy, folk music, and paper cutting. Field trips to cultural heritage sites such as the Terracotta Warriors of Xi’an, the Longmen Grottoes, the Great Wall, and the Forbidden City are included. All costs are covered except for round-trip airfare (arrive Zhengzhou, depart Beijing), health insurance, and tourist visa, which can be estimated at $2,100.

To apply for the program, students must submit an essay of no more than one page that addresses how this experience will affect their academic work and professional goals. Essays must be received by Sunday, November 29, and should be addressed to Dr. Robert Summers and e-mailed to conwelmm@buffalostate.edu. Questions can be directed to the same address or by phone to 878-4620.
