The Lieberthal-Rogel Distinguished Visitor Program provides an opportunity for University of Michigan students, faculty, and community at large to connect with prominent individuals (diplomats and other government officials, journalists, public intellectuals, NGO leaders, business innovators, artists, etc.) whose lives and careers have had significant public impact on advancing relationships with China and deepening understanding of China. Demonstrating first-hand the successful bridging of the divide between knowing and doing and between theory and practice, the distinguished visitors can reflect upon their work while interacting and engaging with a new generation of leaders.
