Shorenstein APARC's Visiting Fellows Program is a vital part of Center life. The program introduces Asia-based fellows to American life and institutions, including the economy, society, culture, politics, and law. Fellows have the opportunity for daily interaction with specialists, students, and scholars from Stanford and abroad. In turn, Visiting Fellows' practical experience and international perspectives enrich and inform intellectual exchange at Shorenstein APARC and at Stanford. Program alumni join a distinguished, ever-growing network of government and private sector professionals throughout Asia.
