The Harvard University Asia Center's 10th Anniversary
The Harvard University Asia Center, which celebrated its official opening in March 1998, will commemorate its 10th anniversary on Thursday May 1, and Friday, May 2, 2008. Over the past 10 years, the Center has responded to and grown with the dynamic changes that have occurred throughout Asia. Among its programs and activities, the Center sponsored conferences in the United States and Asia, organized timely seminars, hosted distinguished visitors and speakers, developed cooperative programs with other center faculty and student research and travel grants.
The 10th Anniversary events, entitled “A Decade of Asia and the Asia Center,” will feature a welcome by Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust, the annual Tsai Lecture given by former Ambassador J. Stapleton Roy, a discussion of changing and enduring issues in Asia and a series of Asia-related panels on history, architecture, public health and the environment, students’ perspectives, and the next 10 years.
The center is also sponsoring a week-long series of films from East, South, and Southeast Asia. An exhibit of Asia Center publications and posters from Asian centers’ events will be on display in the Center for Government and International Studies, South Building, Japan Friends of Harvard Concourse.
