Dear Professor John Wallace,
My name is James Li, and I am graduate student at Stanford University. I am involved with an organization at Stanford called FACES (Forum for American/Chinese Exchange at Stanford). FACES is a faculty-advised, student-run conference under the aegis of the Center for East Asian Studies at Stanford. We are committed to promoting knowledge and discussion of many issues in Sino-American relations, both within Stanford and between university students in the United States and greater China.
Each year, we organize a two-part conference program on US-China relations, referred to as On Common Ground. The first part of the two-week long conferences takes place in November at Stanford, and the second is in April at one of our chapter universities in China. We've invited some of the most prestigious scholars to come address these student delegates on many different aspects of Sino-American relations. Our past speakers include George Bush Sr., Condoleezza Rice, John Major, William Perry, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Thomas Friedman, Richard Levin, John Huntsman and the list goes on. In order to make our application as need-blind as possible, part of airfare to the conferences is subsidized, and FACES covers all food and hotel costs for the conferences. Additional coverage is available based on needs.
Our application for the 2013 conferences has just gone live, and so I am writing to you with the hope that you can pass on our information to any interested students or other faculty contacts in relevant departments. Information about the conference is attached in this email. We would greatly appreciate it if you could forward it to anyone you think might benefit from this opportunity.
We are looking for undergraduate and graduate students who are leaders in their fields of interest. The FACES mission is to instill an appreciation for the importance of U.S. - China relations in tomorrow's leaders in all fields, regardless of former extracurricular or language experience, and to provide a forum where these future leaders of the two countries can form lasting friendships through debate and discussion of salient issues.
If you would like more information about our program, please feel free to email me, or visit faces.stanford.edu.
Thank you for your time,
James Li
