Professor QIAN Xiaojun, Associate Dean of Tsinghua SEM, addressed the event on behalf of the School. “Students from Tsinghua and Stanford bring into full play their creativity and teamwork spirit in planning, preparing, discussing, modifying and implementing every detail of the program. The close collaboration enables participants to build intimate and long-lasting friendship while expanding knowledge, learning about the economy and culture of the other country, and broadening their minds. The innovative form of STEP makes it vibrant even after a decade, establishing a bond of friendship and cooperation between the two business schools”, Professor QIAN commented.
