OCDF Academic Connections
OCDF can help make China a more meaningful place for your students and faculty! We have coordinated programs for students at Illinois State University, Purdue University, the University of Nebraska-Kearney, Bay Path College, Columbia University, and Yale University. OCDF arranges housing and we provide 24/7 on call services for Yale University and Columbia University. In addition, we have worked with The China Institute assisting them with their transportation needs. Our programs are designed to give students and faculty a chance to explore one of the world's fastest changing societies, as well as gain a deeper understanding of a country which has become a major force in all aspects of global business, economics, and politics.
