China Scholarship Council（CSC）program is offered independently from CSUN for graduating seniors and alumni to apply for a full-year of study with possibility of renewal（including options for a Master or Ph.D. program）. It is a prestigious and generous scholarship for American students who want to study in China.
CSUN has worked closely with the Consulate-General of China at Los Angeles to obtain the best opportunities for our students. Since the program’s inception, more than 80 CSUN students were awarded this scholarship and gone to study in China’s best universities（including Beijing University, Tsing-hua University, People’s University, Fudan University, and many more）, with free tuition and free room and board. Some students obtained a Master degree in two or three years, and most of our students had a life transforming experience from their study in China.
COVID-19 is still a significant concern for international educational collaboration, and many international and exchange students had to study online instead. The year of 2022 looks brighter, and CSC（China Scholarship Council）is planning to have student come to China to study for 2022-2023. Currently our application is only open to graduating seniors and all alumni. Please let your students and friends know about this wonderful opportunity.

About This Event
This illustrated talk will focus on patterns of protest and the tightening of political controls in Hong Kong during the last few decades. It will pay particular attention to the 2014 Umbrella Movement and the dramatic events of June through December of 2019, including two large protests that the speaker was in Hong Kong to witness. The presenter, who has been visiting Hong Kong regularly since 1987, will draw on his work as a specialist in the history of anti-authoritarian movements in various parts of the world and his work on global cities of Asia. The presentation will showcase ideas in his new short book Vigil：Hong Kong on the Brink （Columbia Global Reports, 2020）.
