The CEO of an Educational Company in Wuhan, China, also a Sister City to Pittsburgh, PA, wishes to bring students, ages 12 to 15, to Pittsburgh for a few weeks.
The first trip to Pittsburgh could be at the end of January 2019 with a departure date from Pittsburgh back to China by February 14, 2019. A summer trip is also being prepared for June, July or August.
Planning has begun. Open brainstorming meeting for the Sister City’s Study Trip with students from China coming to Pittsburgh happened.
Meeting with City of Pittsburgh officials who lead the Sister City’s effort is going to happen this week.
The sponsoring company has some interesting Pittsburgh connections. Furthermore, one of the principals in the company has a sister, Min, with a Ph.D. from University of Pittsburgh as of April 2018. Min studied with my wife’s department and was also in her class when we went to China more than 12 years ago.
Introduction document from the company.
When the students are in Pittsburgh, they might like to do a water polo camp.
