On July 13, 2024, a delegation of more than 20 students from the DPS (Doctor of Professional Studies in Business) program at China Center for Economic Research Peking University, led by Dr. Zhuang Yang, visited Yale University. They engaged in lively discussions with local students, professors, and scholars on topics such as biomedicine, technology, and cross-cultural communication. Dr. Jing Yan and Dr. Miaowei Weng, representing the CAPA-CT, participated in the on-site dialogue, engaging in cross-disciplinary exchanges with the visiting guests from their respective fields.
